operational variation relating to the calculation of holding fuel or fixed fuel reserve.
       (4) If the certificate holder's operations manual includes an operational variation mentioned in subsection (1) or (2), the certificate holder must give CASA evidence of at least 1 of the following which demonstrates how the operational variation will maintain or improve aviation safety:
(a) documented in-service experience;
(b) the results of a specific safety risk assessment conducted by the certificate holder that meets the requirements of subsection (5).
       (5) For paragraph (4) (b), a specific safety risk assessment must include at least the following:
(a) flight fuel calculations;
(b) the capabilities of the certificate holder, including:
           (i) a data-driven method that includes a fuel consumption monitoring program; and
           (ii) the use of sophisticated techniques for determining the suitability of alternate aerodromes; and
           (iii) specific risk mitigating measures.
       (6) Subsection (7) applies if:
(a) the certificate holder's operations manual includes an operational variation mentioned in subsection (1) or (2); and
(b) the certificate holder has met the requirement mentioned in subsection (4).
       (7) If, at a point in time, there is an inconsistency between a provision of this instrument and a provision of the certificate holder's operations manual, as it exists at the point in time, relating to the calculation of fuel in accordance with the operational variation, the provision of the certificate holder's operations manual prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.
       (8) Subsection (9) applies if, immediately before the commencement of this instrument, a certificate holder's operations manual contained an operational variation mentioned in subsection (1) or (2).
       (9) The certificate holder is taken to have met the requirement mentioned in subsection (4) for the operational variation until the earlier of the following:
(a) the certificate holder's current AOC or Part 141 certificate expires;
(b) 12 months after commencement of this instrument.

9 Fuel requirements for AOC holders — EDTO
       For the avoidance of doubt, if the flight is an EDTO, the AOC holder must also comply with the requirements in clause 6 of Appendix 5 to CAO 82.0 as in force from time to time.

10 Fuel requirements for AOC holders — passenger-carrying and medical transport aeroplane operations to remote islands
       (1)The minimum safe fuel for an aeroplane undertaking a flight to a remote island is:
(a) the minimum amount of fuel that the aeroplane should carry on that flight, according to the operations manual of the aeroplane's operator; or
(b) if the operations manual does not make provision for the calculation of that amount — whichever of the amounts of fuel mentioned in subsection (2), worked out in accordance with subsections (3) to (7), is the greater.
