Hello BOAC, thank you for providing that information. The section you quoted provides the action to be taken in the event of a specific scenario (the calculated useable fuel on landing, at the nearest adequate aerodrome where a safe landing can be performed, is less than final reserve fuel). Can you also now please advise where in EU-OPS it states that the declared emergency overrides the requirements you pointed out, instead of merely that the aircraft is not complying with their requirements? Point 2 states "However if, as a result ...", does the requirement to declare an emergency also begin with a similar "However if as a result ...."?
