You will find that reference (CAR Regualtion 2 para 7d) at the bottom of the very first page of the CPL LAW extract. I did ask CASA if I could includ...
Where are you getting 2680 from? The book answer is "Landing wt + burn off = 2725 + 80 = 2805." [attachment=1547]Q23.png[/attachment]
According to the regulations, a search is considered aerial work (AWK) so no variable reserve is required. However, remember that a particular operat...

The CAAP does include approach and landing fuel as part of trip fuel. That would be sensible for larger IFR aircraft. However it is normal practice ...
I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers from. Trip fuel = 80kg So minimum fuel at take-off = 80 x 1.1 + 41 = 129kg (That's adding the 10%...
It was never the intention of the text to give the impression that the fixed reserve was intended specifically for holding. If that was the message t...
