Consider a Commercial Air Transport helicopter flight. Which of the items listed below are the reasons given in the European Regulations on Air Operations for conducting and recording fuel checks at regular intervals?
1. To compare actual consumption with planned consumption.
2. To check that the usable remaining fuel is sufficient to complete the flight.
3. To ensure dumping of excess fuel during the cruise that may otherwise result in exceeding the Maximum Landing Mass.
4. To determine the expected usable fuel remaining on arrival at the destination.
According to AMC1 CAT.OP.MPA.195 Fuel/energy scheme — in-flight fuel/energy management policy — helicopters:
The operator shall establish a procedure to ensure that in-flight fuel checks and fuel management are carried out according to the following criteria:
(a) In-flight fuel checks
(1) the commander should establish a procedure to ensure that in-flight fuel checks are carried out at regular intervals; the remaining usable fuel should be recorded and evaluated to:

(ii) check that the remaining usable fuel is sufficient to complete the flight; and
(iii) determine the usable fuel that is expected to remain upon landing at the destination; and
