When diverting under AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195, where must the diversion location be selected from?

The diversion location must be selected in accordance with the individual fuel/energy scheme.

What is the alternative to diverting when the in-flight fuel/energy check shows insufficient fuel/energy?

The alternative is to replan the flight in accordance with point (d) of point UAM.OP.VCA.191.

Does AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195 specify a particular date for applicability?

No, AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195 does not state any applicability date.

Which AMC does AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195 refer to for performing the in-flight fuel/energy check?

AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195 refers to AMC1 UAM.OP.VCA.195 for performing the in-flight fuel/energy check.

AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195 Fuel/energy scheme -- in-flight fuel/energy management

Q: What is the condition that triggers the pilot-in-command to divert or replan the flight under AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195?

The condition is when the in-flight fuel/energy check shows that the remaining amount of usable fuel/energy is less than the conservative estimation of the fuel/energy necessary to complete the flight to the destination vertiport or the VEMS operating site, plus the final fuel/energy reserve.

Q: In the context of AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195, what does 'conservative estimation' refer to?

The 'conservative estimation' refers to the fuel/energy necessary to complete the flight to the destination vertiport or the VEMS operating site, plus the final fuel/energy reserve.

Q: What should the pilot-in-command do if an in-flight fuel/energy check shows the remaining usable fuel/energy is less than the amount needed to reach the destination vertiport or VEMS operating site plus the final reserve?

The PIC should either divert to a vertiport or a diversion location along the route selected in accordance with the individual fuel/energy scheme, or replan the flight in accordance with point (d) of point UAM.OP.VCA.191.

Q: According to AMC2 UAM.OP.VCA.195, what are the two specific actions a pilot must take when the in-flight fuel/energy check indicates insufficient fuel/energy for the planned flight?

The two actions are: (a) divert to a vertiport or a diversion location along the route selected in accordance with the individual fuel/energy scheme; or (b) replan the flight in accordance with point (d) of point UAM.OP.VCA.191.

ENSURING A SAFE LANDING

If an in-flight fuel/energy check performed in accordance with AMC1 UAM.OP.VCA.195 shows that the remaining amount of usable fuel/energy is less than the conservative estimation of the fuel/energy necessary to complete the flight to the destination vertiport or the VEMS operating site, plus the final fuel/energy reserve, the PIC should:

(a) divert to a vertiport or a diversion location along the route selected in accordance with the individual fuel/energy scheme; or

(b) replan the flight in accordance with point (d) of point UAM.OP.VCA.191.
