Fuel preparation )t is *B++ policy for the - to uplift, in addition to the re/uired trip fuel, at least 01 contingency fuel (that is to say, an additional 01 of the calculated trip fuel! and a MINIMUM final reser2e figure of 400g! "o *B++ - flight should land 3ith less than -kg of fuel on board. "aturally, the final reser2e fuel and the contingency fuel can both be increased at the 'aptain4s discretion, taking into consideration any 3eather or operational limitations. $he standard ta5i fuel figure for the - is 6kg though once again, more can be added if the 'aptain anticipates a long ta5i (e.g. %&7 or 'D8!. $ankering fuel is acceptable, though it is company policy to land 3ith no "ore than 9,6kg of fuel on board unless in e5ceptional circumstances. +5planation for landing 3ith greater fuel /uantity may be re/uired. %lternate airports should be chosen on the basis of 3eather, "#$%&s and pro5imity. )t may also be prudent to choose lybe bases or destinations as alternates 3here possible for operational ease (for e5ample, Bristol or +5eter 3ould be good good alternates alternates for 7outhampton 7outhampton,, depending depending on 3eather"#$ 3eather"#$%&s!. %&s!.
