At ASA is Amendment 36 to ICAO Annex 6 Part I Chapter 4 (see below) the recognised accepted procedure here in Oz for cases of min fuel?
Chapter 4
4.3.7 In-flight fuel management
4.3.7.1 An operator shall establish policies and procedures, approved by the State of the Operator, to ensure that in-flight fuel
checks and fuel management are performed.
4.3.7.2 The pilot-in-command shall continually ensure that the amount of usable fuel remaining on board is not less than the fuel
required to proceed to an aerodrome where a safe landing can be made with the planned final reserve fuel remaining upon land
ing.
4.3.7.2.1 The pilot-in-command shall request delay information from ATC when unanticipated circumstances may result in
landing at the destination aerodrome with less than the final reserve fuel plus any fuel required to proceed to an alternate aero
drome
or the fuel required to operate to an isolated aerodrome.
4.3.7.2.2 The pilot-in-command shall advise ATC of a minimum fuel state by declaring MINIMUM FUEL when, having
committed to land at a specific aerodrome, the pilot calculates that any change to the existing clearance to that aerodrome may
result in landing with less than planned final reserve fuel.
Note 1.— The declaration of MINIMUM FUEL informs ATC that all planned aerodrome options have been reduced to a
specific aerodrome of intended landing and any change to the existing clearance may result in landing with less than planned
final reserve fuel. This is not an emergency situation but an indication that an emergency situation is possible should any additional
delay occur.
Note 2.— Guidance on declaring minimum fuel is contained in the Fuel Planning Manual (Doc 9976).
It should be noted that Pilots should not expect any form of priority handling as a result of a “MINIMUM FUEL” decla
ration.
ATC will, however, advise the flight crew of any additional expected delays as well as coordinate when transferring
control of the aeroplane to ensure other ATC units are aware of the flight’s fuel state.
4.3.7.2.3 The pilot-in-command shall declare a situation of fuel emergency by broadcasting MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY,
FUEL, when the calculated usable fuel predicted to be available upon landing at the nearest aerodrome where a safe landing
can be made is less than the planned final reserve fuel.
Note 1.— The planned final reserve fuel refers to the value calculated in 4.3.6.3 e) 1) or 2) and is the minimum amount of fuel
required upon landing at any aerodrome.
Note 2.— The words “MAYDAY FUEL” describe the nature of the distress conditions as required in Annex 10, Volume II,
5.3.2.1, b) 3.
Note 3.— Guidance on procedures for in-flight fuel management are contained in the Fuel Planning Manual (Doc
9976).
Or should I say is the above what you as an ATC expect or understand should happen when an aircraft declares min fuel?
