   1 Name

       This instrument is CASA 29/18 — Civil Aviation (Fuel Requirements) Instrument 2018.

1A Commencement
       This instrument commences immediately after the commencement of the Civil Aviation Amendment (Fuel and Oil Requirements) Regulations 2018.

2 Definitions
       In this instrument:
additional fuel means the supplementary amount of fuel (if any) required to allow the aircraft, if engine failure or loss of pressurisation (if applicable), whichever results in the greater subsequent fuel consumption, occurs at the most critical point:
(a) to proceed to an alternate aerodrome; and
(b) to fly for 15 minutes at holding speed at 1 500 feet above aerodrome elevation in ISA conditions; and
(c) to make an approach and landing.
Note   Fuel planning in accordance with subsections 5 (2), (3) and (4) may place the aircraft in a fuel emergency situation if an engine failure or loss of pressurisation occurs as described above.
alternate aerodrome means an aerodrome:
(a) to which an aircraft may proceed, when it becomes either impossible or inadvisable to proceed to, or land at, the destination aerodrome; and
(b) where the necessary services and facilities are available; and
(c) where aircraft performance requirements can be met; and
(d) which is operational at the expected time of use.
Note   Despite paragraph 13 (1) (b) of the Legislation Act 2003, the expression alternate aerodrome has a different meaning in this instrument to the meaning of that expression as defined in regulation 2 of CAR.
alternate fuel means the amount of fuel required to enable an aircraft to do the following in a sequence:
(a) a missed approach at the destination aerodrome;
(b) fly the expected routing to the destination alternate;
(c) conduct the approach;
(d) land at the destination alternate.
ATC means air traffic control.
CAO means Civil Aviation Order.
certificate holder means a Part 141 operator or a holder of an AOC.
