at least the following amounts of usable fuel:
 (a) destination alternate fuel from that time;
 (b) holding fuel, if required;
 (c) final reserve fuel.

7.05  Requirements for determining fuel before, and monitoring fuel during, flight
 (1) The operator, and pilot in command, of an aeroplane must each ensure that for a flight of the aeroplane:
 (a) the amount of usable fuel on board the aeroplane is determined before the flight commences, and recorded; and
 (b) regular in-flight fuel amount checks are conducted.
Note: Procedures to ensure that a flight of the aeroplane is conducted in accordance with the fuel requirements stated in this Chapter, including procedures for how regular in-flight fuel amount checks will be conducted for a flight, must be included in the operator's exposition: see regulation 135.205, and paragraphs 119.205(1)(h) and (o), of CASR.
 (2) The pilot in command must do all of the following at each in-flight fuel amount check:
 (a) determine the amount of usable fuel remaining;
 (b) compare planned fuel consumption with actual fuel consumption;
 (c) determine whether the remaining usable fuel is sufficient to meet:
 (i) if a point of in-flight replanning has been specified by the operator for the flight and the flight has not proceeded past the point — the requirements of subsection 7.04(2); and
 (ii) otherwise — the requirements of subsection 7.04(3);
 (d) calculate the amount of usable fuel expected to be remaining when the aeroplane lands at the destination aerodrome.

7.06  Procedures if fuel reaches specified amount
 (1) If the pilot in command of an aeroplane for a flight becomes aware that the amount of usable fuel in the aeroplane on landing at the destination aerodrome would be less than the fuel required under subsection 7.04(3), the pilot in command must:
 (a) take into account the traffic and operational conditions likely to be prevailing on arrival at:
 (i) the destination aerodrome; and
 (ii) if a destination alternate aerodrome is required for the flight — the destination alternate aerodrome; and
 (iii) any en‑route alternate aerodrome; and
 (b) proceed to an aerodrome mentioned in paragraph (a) that enables the pilot in command to continue to meet the requirements stated in section 7.04.
 (2) The pilot in command must request from ATS the duration of any likely delay in landing if unforeseen factors could result in the aeroplane landing at the destination aerodrome with less than the following amounts of fuel remaining:
 (a) final reserve fuel;
 (b) destination alternate fuel, if required.
 (3) The pilot in command must declare to ATS a "minimum fuel" state if:
 (a) the pilot in command is committed to land the aeroplane at an aerodrome in accordance with this section; and
 (b) it is calculated that if there
