Today we are going to talk about the CONTINGENCY FUEL.

By the end of the video, you will understand what the CONTINGENCY FUEL is and why it is so important during Commercial Air Operations.

If you look at the fuel section of your flight plan you will notice that there is a fuel figure called Contingency Fuel.

This amount of fuel is there to cover the unexpected and unforeseen circumstances that you can experience during your operations.

For example, you have a cruising Level on your flight plan of FL 370 however the air traffic controller instructs you to level off way below due to traffic.

This instruction will make you burn more fuel for that trip, and the contingency fuel should cover you for that.

Normally the contingency fuel is 5% of your trip Fuel, however, it can be reduced to 3% of your trip if you have the Fuel Enroute ALternate (FUEL ERA).

Also, the contingency fuel can be expressed in Minutes.
