GM2 CAT.OP.MPA.181 Fuel/energy scheme — fuel/energy planning and in-flight re-planning policy — aeroplanes ED Decision 2022/005/R BASIC FUEL SCHEME WITH VARIATIONS — STATISTICAL CONTINGENCY FUEL METHOD As an example of statistical contingency fuel, the following statistical values of the deviation from the planned to the actual trip fuel provide appropriate statistical coverage: (a) 99 % coverage plus 3 % of the trip fuel if the calculated flight time: (1) is less than 2 hours; or (2) is more than 2 hours and no fuel ERA aerodrome is available; (b) 99 % coverage if the calculated flight time is more than 2 hours and a fuel ERA aerodrome is available; and (c) 90 % coverage if: (1) the calculated flight time is more than 2 hours; (2) a fuel ERA aerodrome is available; and (3) at the destination aerodrome, two separate runways are available and usable, one of which is suitable for type B instrument approach operations, and the meteorological conditions are in accordance with point [CAT.OP.MPA.182(e)](#_DxCrossRefBm927677655).
