Minimum Fuel Requirements on Landing
This is something that came out of an online discussion and I can't find a clear answer for UK registered aircraft.
I know that in the US, the FAA requires 45 minutes of fuel on landing and I've read CAP 748 which doesn't seem to specify a minimum fuel requirement.
so... What are the minimum fuel requirements for aircraft operating in UK airspace? Also, does the same rule apply to UK aircraft outside of UK airspace or do they have to follow the regulations in the country they are landing in?
Thanks v. much for any answers!

EU-OPS specifies 30 minutes (for a jet or turbo-prop aircraft) or 45 minutes (for a piston aircraft) fuel consumption at endurance speed. It's normally called the Final Reserve Fuel.
