Regarding EAT in BCN. I’ve had this discussion with an ATO over a few beers about six months ago. Apparently in the Spanish AIP they don’t have to give us a EAT if the hold is less than 20 min.
So I always carry 20 min extra fuel into BCN, frustrating? Yes!
Inefficient? Yes!
Spanish? Yes!
Exactly the same in the UK - if the 'delay' is less than 20mins then EATs are not issued. See:
