What should the trip fuel/energy include according to AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.191?

The trip fuel/energy should include fuel/energy for take-off and climb from the departure vertiport elevation to initial cruising level/altitude, taking into account the expected departure routing; from the top of climb to the top of descent; from the top of descent to the point where the approach procedure is initiated; and for the approach and landing at the destination vertiport.

In the fuel/energy scheme, which phase of flight is covered from the top of climb to the top of descent?

The phase from the top of climb to the top of descent is covered as part of the trip fuel/energy.

According to AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.191, what specific segment is included in the trip fuel/energy from the top of descent?

The trip fuel/energy includes the segment from the top of descent to the point where the approach procedure is initiated.

Does the trip fuel/energy include fuel for approach and landing at the destination vertiport?

Yes, the trip fuel/energy includes fuel/energy for the approach and landing at the destination vertiport.

What must be taken into account when calculating fuel/energy for take-off and climb from the departure vertiport elevation?

The expected departure routing must be taken into account.
