I am trying to find the official reference for ETOPS required fuel that states something like.....after holding for 15 minutes at 1500 feet conduct an instrument approach to a missed approach then visual circuit to a visual approach and landing.
AC 120-42B states:
303. ETOPS FLIGHT OPERATIONS REQUIREMENTS subparagraph (6)(a)(2)
Upon reaching the alternate, hold at 1,500 ft above field elevation for 15 minutes and then conduct an instrument approach and land.
And FAR 121.646(b)(2) states:
Fuel to account for holding, approach, and landing. In addition to the fuel required by paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the airplane must carry fuel sufficient to hold at 1500 feet above field elevation for 15 minutes upon reaching an ETOPS Alternate Airport and then conduct an instrument approach and land.
I have seen non-official documentation that states that the missed approach and second approach is included. Does anyone know where this is listed? Is this an ICAO/JAR/EUOPS requirement?
Thanks in advance.
