London Fuel
 
Could someone please provide a link for the 20min extra fuel requirement when flying to London? I cannot find it on Ais website.

"operators conducting flights to the London airports from within the ECAC area should also consider carrying sufficient fuel to return to their point of departure"

return to base...wtf
 
firstly I had to google ECAC. then when looking at the list of member states, was surprised that if i operated from many of those, i could not carry any payload if required to carry round trip and holding fuel.

then i suppose I am being a little pedantic.

The AIC that Jim mentions applies during the Olympic festivities. If you are talking about routine operations it probably comes from the fact that a delay of up to 20 minutes will not be advised to pilots. It's not my area and I'm sure someone working the LTMA can give you chapter and verse on the exact wording - but I think it goes something like if the aircraft will leave the hold less than 20 minutes after arriving it will be given an EAT of no delay.
