No it isn't, and it hasn't been that way for years.
Folks,
As I have already said, it been in many ops. manuals for years, that makes it enforceable, for those operators.
That there are still out of date/ non-ICAO regulation still around is hardly news, that there are many unamended ops manuals around says something about CASA audits, if the FOIs even understand the intent, which I am quite certain many don't.
What is wrong with the draft is "normal cruising speed", undefinable.
The common (ICAO) approach is 30 minutes at holding speed, which can be pinned down, and more to the point, for a large aircraft, would be a lot less fuel than something called normal cruise, but commonly about 3% of the total fuel load, which just happens to be of the right order to take care of the order of accuracy issues.
ICAOwise, it is all about, and only about taking care of measurement errors, and making certain there is some fuel in the tanks on landing.
For those of you who do not understand "order of accuracy", it would be a really good idea to look up the concept.
Tootle pip!!
