EASA NAV(A)intermediate
Under international aviation standards (ICAO Annex 6), which of the following statements regarding operational fuel components is correct? (Select all that apply)
Answer
Trip fuel is the fuel required from take-off until landing at the destination aerodrome.
Explanation
### Why this is right
- Trip fuel covers the planned route, as distinct from fuel reserved for an alternate or final reserve.
- The stated contingency amount is 5 percent of trip fuel.
- The stated final reserve is 45 minutes at holding speed.
### The concept
Fuel categories have different purposes and should not be merged. The final reserve is described as an absolute minimum upon landing, so it cannot be counted as fuel available for planned use en route. The supplied material does not give other reserve durations or operational exceptions, so the answer follows its stated rules.
### The other options
- **Final reserve may be planned for use en route.** This conflicts with the material's instruction that the final reserve is an absolute minimum upon landing and cannot be planned for en-route use.
### Terms
- **Holding speed**: The speed used for the stated 45-minute final-reserve calculation.
- **Final reserve**: The minimum fuel intended to remain on landing.
### Remember
Do not plan to consume the final reserve before landing.
