CAP 697 Figures 4.7.

1a & 1b provide the CRITICAL FUEL RESERVE (LRC) for ONE ENGINE
INOPERATIVE and ALL ENGINES OPERATIVE at the Critical Point. If this fuel reserve
is greater
than the planned fuel at this point, the fuel load must be increased accordingly.
Both graphs
are based on the following common parameters:
Pressurization failure
Emergency descent to 10 000 ft. Level cruise at 10 000 ft
250 KIAS descent to 1500 ft over the airfield
15 minutes hold at 1500 ft. One missed approach, approach and land
5% allowance for wind errors
The One Engine Inoperative graph also includes Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) fuel
burn. Thus,
this is the worst case scenario (engine and pressurization failure) which requires
the APU to
be started in flight in order to compensate, in part, for the loss of the power
plant to provide
essential electrics and pneumatics (e.g. air conditioning).
Note the corrections, beneath each graph, for:
Temperatures hotter than ISA.
Icing conditions.
Example 1
An aircraft at a weight of 48 000 kg suffers an engine and pressurization failure
simultaneously.
The forecast conditions at FL100 are +5C and a 50 kt headwind for the 850 NM
distance from
the CP to the diversion airfield. Calculate the LRC Critical Fuel Reserve needed.
Ans....................kg
Example 2
Use the same details above, assuming pressurization failure only.
Ans....................kg
Example 3
An aircraft at a weight of 50 000 kg has an engine and pressurization failure
simultaneously.
The forecast is icing conditions at FL100, -15C and a 60 kt tailwind and for the
750 NM distance
from the CP to the diversion airfield. Calculate the LRC Critical Fuel Reserve
needed.

Example 4
Use the same details above, assuming pressurization failure only.

Area of Operation - Diversion Distance
CAP 697 Figure 4.7.2
The area of operation is defined as the region within which the operator is
authorized to
conduct ETOPS. The distance to the diversion airfield from any point along the
route must be
flown within the approved time using the single-engine cruise speed, assuming still
air and ISA
conditions.
