Flying to HEATHROW: 20' extra FUEL REQUIRED?
Hi!
A question from a foreign captain, if I might.
Years ago there was some sort of notam which required to add a fuel quantity of 20 minutes EXTRA, on top of the usual minimum requirements, just because Heathrow is Heathrow.
Is it still a requirement?
I routinely fly to EGLL without such extra fuel, knowing beforehand that when the weather is fair I will not need to divert because of that, and I already know that my planned alternate fuel will be used if necessary to hold and commit to Heathrow.
Thank you.
