CAT.OP.MPA.180 Fuel/energy scheme – aeroplanes Regulation (EU) 2021/1296 (a) The operator shall establish, implement, and maintain a fuel/energy scheme that: (1) is appropriate for the type(s) of operation performed; (2) corresponds to the capability of the operator to support its implementation; and (3) is either: (i) a basic fuel/energy scheme, which shall form the basis for a basic fuel/energy scheme with variations and an individual fuel/energy scheme; the basic fuel/energy scheme derives from a large-scale analysis of safety and operational data from previous performance and experience of the industry, applying scientific principles; the basic fuel/energy scheme shall ensure, in this order, a safe, effective, and efficient operation of the aircraft; or (ii) a basic fuel/energy scheme with variations, which is a basic fuel/energy scheme where the analysis referred to in point (i) is used to establish a variation to the basic fuel/energy scheme that ensures, in this order, a safe, effective, and efficient operation of the aircraft; or (iii) an individual fuel/energy scheme, which derives from a comparative analysis of the operator’s safety and operational data, applying scientific principles; the analysis is used to establish a fuel/energy scheme with a higher or equivalent level of safety to that of the basic fuel/energy scheme that ensures, in this order, a safe, effective, and efficient operation of the aircraft. (b) All fuel/energy schemes shall comprise: (1) a fuel/energy planning and in-flight re-planning policy; (2) an aerodrome selection policy; and (3) an in-flight fuel/energy management policy. (c) The fuel/energy scheme and any change to it shall require prior approval by the competent authority. (d) When the operator intends to apply for an individual fuel/energy scheme, it shall: (1) establish a baseline safety performance of its current fuel/energy scheme; (2) demonstrate its capability to support the implementation of the proposed individual fuel/energy scheme, including the capability to exercise adequate operational control and to ensure exchange of the relevant safety information between the operational control personnel and the flight crew; and (3) make a safety risk assessment that demonstrates how an equivalent level of safety to that of the current fuel/energy scheme is achieved.
