NBAA IFR Range DEFINITION

Hello Folks,

I couldn't find the exact definition of NBAA IFR Range on the net.
How is the economy cruise to alternate defined (300nm, 200nm, 100nm)? Where can I get the definition? The NBAA site wasn't a help...

Do you have an idea?

Thx in advance,

Try searching the manufacturers websites for the aircraft specifications for likes of Beechcraft and checking over their application of NBAA IFR reserves, I think you'll find 100nm alternate distance is commonly used. But the definition I have is

NBAA IFR Fuel Reserves = Fuel for go-around at destination airport + climb to 5000 ft. and hold for 5 minutes + fly to and land at alternate airport 200 NMi. away + fuel to hold at 5000 ft. for 30 minutes.
