fuel planning
 

I am interested how airlines plan their fuel planning, re trip fuel , reserve, final reserve and so on. Who is already planning according JAR OPS. I am manly interested in shorthaul, but also longhaul is interesting. ( especially final reserve ) Many thanks.

CAA have just published a Special Objectives Check. It is available from CAA website

www.srg.caa.co.uk/documents/srg_fops_fuel_soc_focus1.pdf

& also on the CHIRP website www.chirp.co.uk.

It lists the mandatory items, and also a whole lot of discussion about operators' actual policies!
