Domestic vs. International Final Reserve?
Hi-
has anybody ever heard about a regulation requiring different final reserve (45 minutes vs. 30 minutes @ 1500ft AGL) for domestic vs. international flights? Or if not a regulation, any good reason why an operator would want that?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply! What I found in Part 121 operating requirements is 30 minutes 1.500 feet @ holding fuel flow for international (§ 121.645) and 45 minutes @ normal cruising fuel consumption (§ 121.639) for domestic. All for turbo powered aircraft. Is that what you're refering to?
