Illustration of Fuel dumping areas


10.3 In-flight Fuel Management Procedures
10.3.1 Definition
  • Minimum fuel: The term used to describe a situation in which an aircraft’s fuel supply has reached a state where the flight is committed to land at a specific aerodrome and no additional delay can be accepted.

  • Mayday fuel: Describes the nature of the distress conditions when the calculated usable fuel predicted to be available upon landing at the nearest aerodrome where a safe landing can be made is less than the planned final reserve fuel.

10.3.2 Actions taken by pilot
10.3.2.1 The pilot-in-command shall continually ensure that the amount of usable fuel remaining on board is not less than the fuel required to proceed to an aerodrome where a safe landing can be made with the planned final reserve fuel remaining upon landing.
10.3.2.2 The pilot-in-command shall request delay information from ATC when unanticipated circumstances may result in landing at the destination aerodrome with less than the final reserve fuel plus the fuel required either to proceed to an alternate aerodrome or the fuel required to operate to an isolated aerodrome.
10.3.2.3 The pilot-in-command shall advise ATC of a minimum fuel state by declaring “MINIMUM FUEL” when, having committed to land at a specific aerodrome, the pilot calculates that any changes to the existing clearance to that aerodrome may result in landing with less than planned final reserve fuel.

Note 1: The declaration of “MINIMUM FUEL” informs ATC that all planned aerodrome options have been reduced to a specific aerodrome of intended landing and any changes to the existing clearance may result in landing with less than planned final reserve fuel. This is not an emergency situation but an indication that an emergency situation is possible should any additional delays occur.

Note 2: It should be noted that Pilots should not expect any form of priority handling as a result of a “MINIMUM FUEL” declaration. ATC will, however, advise the flight crew of any additional expected delays as well as coordinate when transferring control of the aircraft to ensure that other ATC units are aware of the flight’s fuel state.

10.3.2.4 The pilot-in-command shall declare a situation of distress related to the amount of fuel available on board the aircraft by broadcasting “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, FUEL” when the calculated usable fuel predicted to be available upon landing at the nearest aerodrome where a safe landing can be made is less than the planned final reserve fuel.

Note 1: The planned final reserve fuel refers to the value calculated in Annex 6 - Operation of Aircraft, Chapter4, item 4.3.6.3 e) 1) or 2) and is the minimum amount of fuel required upon landing at any aerodrome.

Note 2: The words “MAYDAY FUEL” describe the nature of the distress conditions as required in Annex 10, Volume II, Chapter 5.3.2.1, b) 3).

Note 3: Guidance on procedures for in-flight fuel management is contained in the Fuel Planning Manual (Doc 9976).

10.3.3 Actions taken by ATC
10.3.3.1 When a pilot reports a state of “MINIMUM FUEL”, ATC shall respond to the pilot who indicates or suggests that he is becoming short of fuel or who has declared “MINIMIM FUEL” as follows:
10.3.3.1.1 Inform the pilot of either:
  1. The estimated delay, if pilots are en-route to, joining or are established in holding point such as IAWPs; or

  2. The estimated track mileage, if pilots are being vectored to an instrument approach; or

10.3.3.1.2 Coordinate when transferring control of the aircraft to ensure other ATC units to be aware of the flight’s fuel state.
10.3.3.1.3 Standard phraseology
  • Pilot transmission: (C/S), MINIMUM FUEL

  • Controller transmission: (C/S), ROGER [NO DELAY EXPECTED or EXPECT (delay information)]

10.3.3.2 When a pilot reports a state of “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY FUEL”. This is an emergency and the aircraft shall be given priority over other traffic in the landing sequence. The aircraft will be committed to a landing, as in the event of any delay or a go-around, there may be insufficient fuel remaining for a safe landing.
10.3.3.2.1 Standard phraseology
  • Pilot transmission: (C/S) MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY FUEL

  • Controller transmission: (C/S) ROGER MAYDAY

11.  Aircraft Transponder Failure Procedures
