– Add 400 feet to the authorized MDA(H) or DA(H).
– Add 1 mile/1600 meters to the minimum visibility.
• For airports with two operational approach facilities to different runways, use
the lowest values obtained from each of the following:
– Add 200 feet to the higher authorized MDA(H) or DA(H) specified for the two
approaches, or add 400 feet to the lower authorized MDA(H) or DA(H) specified
for the two approaches.
– Add 1 mile/1600 meters to the lower visibility minimum specified for the two
approaches, or add 1/2 mile/800 meters to the higher visibility minimum
specified for the two approaches.

Domestic fuel reserve requirement

Back 15

• To fly to the airport to which it is dispatched;
• Thereafter, to fly to and land at the most distant alternate airport (where required) for the airport to which dispatched;
• Thereafter, to fly for 45 minutes at normal cruising fuel consumption.

FOM 4.30.1 12 APR 13

Front 16

Flag 10% fuel reserve requirement

Back 16

• Fly to and land at the airport to which it was released.
• Fly for a period of time equal to 10% of the planned flight time between the
departure and destination airports.
• After that, fly to and land at the most distant alternate listed in the Dispatch Release.
• After that, fly for 30 minutes at holding speed at 1500 feet above the alternate (or above the destination if no alternate is listed in the Dispatch Release).

Front 17

Flag two hour reserve rule

Back 17

When dispatching to a destination approved with no alternate, there must be sufficient
fuel on board to fly to and land at the destination, and after that to fly for at least 2
hours at normal cruising fuel consumption (FAR 121.645[c]).
Note: This requirement does not apply when no alternate is required under the Six-Hour Rule.

FOM 4.30.2 12 APR 13

Front 18

Flag 5% fuel reserve requirement

Back 18

• Forecast destination weather must be at or above minimums at ETA.

Front 19

Required Dispatch reports

Back 19

• If actual ETA will exceed planned by more than 15 minutes, or there is an accumulated deviation of +/- 5 minutes from a previously reported estimate
• If cruise altitude varies by 4000 feet or more from the flight plan
• If a lateral deviation from the planned route exceeds 100 miles
• Any enroute failure of a flight deck fuel quantity indicator
• If it becomes apparent that all contingency fuel will be burned (i.e., ACF, EXTRA, and HOLD) and therefore part of the reserve fuel will be burned, coordinate a plan of action with Dispatch and provide the details of what occurred (e.g., holding at destination)
• A flight encounters weather significantly different than forecast, or any time moderate or greater turbulence is encountered
