GM1 UAM.OP.VCA.195 Fuel/energy scheme — in-flight fuel/energy management

ED Decision 2025/010/R

DECLARING ‘MINIMUM FUEL’

(a) The ‘MINIMUM FUEL’ declaration informs the appropriate ATC unit that any change to the existing clearance, or air traffic delays, may result in landing with less final fuel/energy reserve. This is not an emergency situation, but an indication that an emergency situation is possible should any additional delay occur.

(b) Guidance on declaring ‘MINIMUM FUEL’ is contained in ICAO Doc 9976 ‘Flight Planning and Fuel Management (FPFM) Manual’.
