IMPORTANT NOTE: The modifications resulting from the updated fuel policy regulations, which came into effect on October 30, 2022, are only changes in wording but nothing really new. The terminology "extra fuel" has been replaced with "discretionary fuel." EASA has clarified that the calculations and procedures pertaining to fuel calculations will remain unchanged, and there will be no inquiries regarding the "new extra fuel" concept.

  • Extra fuel, include anticipated delays or specific operational constraints that can be predicted
  • Discretionary fuel, include a quantity at the sole discretion of the commander
