What is the emergency fuel value?

• A. 1100
• B. 1500
• C. 1000
• D. 1200

Answer: (A)

Emergency fuel value is the minimum fuel on board that must be available to handle an unplanned diversion and still have a safety margin to reach a safe landing. It’s a planning figure used to ensure you can reach an alternate or suitable airport and hold if needed, without running out of fuel. In this scenario, the operator’s data specify 1,100 pounds as the emergency fuel value. That amount is the defined minimum reserve you must plan for, so it satisfies the required safety margin. Values that are lower wouldn’t meet the specified reserve, while higher values exceed the mandated minimum, so they don’t match the defined emergency reserve.
