Thanks for the reply "dispatchshmoe"

I'm just a bit confused as per the wording used in the UAE CAR Ops. And I can't find anyone who can give me clear answer.

Just so that you know what I mean this is the excerpt from CAR ops.

Fuel Policy
3 Isolated aerodrome procedure. If an operator’s fuel policy includes planning to an isolated aerodrome
for which a destination alternate does not exist, the amount of fuel at departure should include:
3.1 Taxi fuel;
3.2 Trip Fuel;
3.3 Contingency Fuel calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph 1.3 above;
3.4 Additional Fuel if required, but not less than:
(a) For aeroplanes with reciprocating engines, fuel to fly for 45 minutes plus 15% of the flight time
planned to be spent at cruising level, or two hours, whichever is less; or
(b) For aeroplanes with turbine engines, fuel to fly for two hours at normal cruise consumption after
arriving overhead the destination aerodrome, including final reserve fuel; and
3.5 Extra Fuel if required by the commander.


1.5 Final reserve fuel, which should be:
(a) For aeroplanes with reciprocating engines, fuel to fly for 45 minutes; or
(b) For aeroplanes with turbine power units, fuel to fly for 30 minutes at holding speed at 1 500 ft
(450 m) above aerodrome elevation in standard conditions, calculated with the estimated mass on
arrival at the alternate or the destination, when no alternate is required.
