contingency fuel
Hello,
My name is Anthony and I am a student studying in the netherlands to become a aviation engeneer. Right now I am in the middle of a project where I and the rest of my team have to execute a flight from Manila to Amsterdam with a 777-206ER that experiences quite a few problems on the way.
I have to do research on the contingency fuel. My problem is that I cannot find information about the contingency fuel of 1%. Does anybody know about the 1% contingency fuel? I know about the 5% and the 3%.
Also, what is ment by holding fuel?
And last, what is ment by contingency fuel coverage? I read about a 99% contingency fuel coverage and don't know what they mean by that.
Thanks for youre anwsers and help.
Regards
Anthony
