holding fuel means the amount of fuel required by an aeroplane to fly for the period anticipated for holding (taking into account the operating conditions), calculated at the holding fuel consumption rate established for the aeroplane for the anticipated meteorological conditions, or ISA conditions.
Note: See the definition of established in this section.
point of in-flight replanning means a point en route during a flight of an aeroplane, determined by the operator or pilot in command for the flight before the flight commences, at which an aeroplane can:
 (a) if the flight arrives at the point with adequate fuel to complete the flight to the planned destination aerodrome while maintaining the fuel required by subsection 7.04(2) —continue to that aerodrome; or
 (b) otherwise — divert to an en route alternate aerodrome while maintaining the fuel required by subsection 7.04(3).
taxi fuel means the amount of fuel expected to be used by an aeroplane before take-off, taking into account:
 (a) local conditions at the departure aerodrome; and
 (b) APU consumption, if applicable.
trip fuel means the amount of fuel required to enable an aeroplane to fly from any point along the route until landing at a destination aerodrome, including (as applicable) the following:
 (a) fuel for take-off and climb from the departure aerodrome to initial cruising level or altitude, taking into account the expected departure routing;
 (b) fuel for cruise from top of climb to top of descent, including any step climb or descent;
 (c) fuel from top of descent to the point where the approach is initiated, taking into account the expected arrival procedure;
 (d) fuel for executing an approach and landing.
unforeseen factors means factors that could have an influence on an aeroplane's fuel consumption to the planned destination aerodrome, including:
 (a) the aeroplane's deviation from the expected fuel consumption data for an aeroplane of that type; and
 (b) extended delays and deviations from planned routings or cruising levels.

7.03  General requirements
  Fuel consumption data
 (1) When determining the quantity of usable fuel required under this Chapter for a flight of an aeroplane, the operator, and pilot in command, must each use the following fuel consumption data sources:
 (a) the most recent aeroplane specific fuel consumption data derived from a fuel consumption monitoring system used by the operator, if available;
 (b) the aeroplane's manufacturer's data for the aeroplane.
Note: The aeroplane manufacturer's data includes electronic flight planning data. The manufacturer's data may be in the flight manual, cruise performance manuals or other publications.
  Operational conditions etc
 (2) In determining the quantity of usable fuel required under this Chapter, the operator, and pilot in command, must each consider the
