Regulation OTAR Part 125 - Complex General Aviation

(6) additional fuel, which shall be a supplementary amount of fuel required to enable the
aircraft to descend as necessary and proceed to land at alternate aerodrome in the
event of engine failure or loss of pressurization based upon the assumption that such a
failure occures at the most critical point along the route; and
(7) discretionary fuel, which shall be an amount of fuel to be carried at the discretion of the
pilot in command.
(d) The use of fuel after flight commencement for purposes other than originally intended during pre-
flight planning shall require a re-analysis and, if applicable, adjustment of the planned operation.
Note: Nothing in 125.280 precludes the in-flight amendment of a flight plan to re-plan that flight to
another aerodrome, provided that the requiements of 125.280 can be complied with from the
point where the flight is replanned.
OTAR.125.285 Checklists
(a) The operator shall ensure that flight crews are provided with checklists of normal, abnormal and
emergency aircraft procedures.
(b) The checklists provided to flight crews shall be designed in accordance with human factors
principles and shall contain sufficient information to enable flight crews to comply with the
operating procedures in the operations manual, the aircraft flight manual or such other
documents as may be associated with the certificate of airworthiness.
(c) The operator shall ensure that flight crew operating procedures incorporate the use of checklists
for all phases of aircraft operations and in emergency.
(d) The operator shall ensure that checklists are used by flight crews prior to, during and after all
phases of aircraft operation.

OTAR.125.290 In-flight simulation of emergency situations
The operator shall ensure that on a flight when passengers are being carried:
(a) no emergency or abnormal situations are simulated; and
(b) no simulated instrument flight is conducted.
OTAR.125.300 Crew members at stations
Whenever required cabin crew are carried they shall occupy a seat provided in accordance with paragraph
125.635 during take off and landing and at such other times as the pilot in command may require.
OTAR.125.305 In-flight fuel management
(a) The operator shall establish a procedure to ensure that in-flight fuel checks and fuel
management are carried out.
(b) The pilot in command shall ensure that fuel checks are carried out at regular intervals to confirm
that the amount of usable fuel remaining in flight is not less than the fuel required to proceed to
an aerodrome/landing site where a safe landing can be made, with the planned final reserve fuel
remaining.
Note 1: The protection of final reserve fuel is intended to ensure a safe landing at any aerodrome
when unforeseen occurrences may not permit safe completion of an operation as originally
planned. Guidance on flight planning including the circumstances that may require re-analysis,
adjustment and/or re-planning of the planned operation before take-off or en-route, is contained
in the Flight Planning and Fuel Management Manual (Doc 9976)

(c) The pilot-in-command shall request delay information from ATC when unanticipated
circumstances may result in landing at the destination aerodrome with less than the final reserve
fuel plus any fuel required to proceed to an alternate aerodrome or the fuel required to operate to
an isolated aerodrome.
(d) The pilot-in-command shall advise ATC of a minimum fuel state by declaring MINIMUM FUEL
when, having committed to land at a specific aerodrome, the pilot calculates that any change to
the existing clearance to that aerodrome may result in landing with less than planned final
reserve fuel.
Note 2: The delaration of MINIMUM FUEL informs ATC that all planned aerodrome options have
been reduced to a specific aerodrome of intended landing and any change to the existing
clearance may result in landing with less than planned final reserve fuel. This is not an
emergency situation but an indication that an emergency situation is possible should any
additional delay occur.
Note 3: Guidance on declaring minimum fuel is contained in the Flight Planning and Fuel
Management Manual (ICAO Doc 9976).

(e) The pilot in command shall declare a situation of fuel emergency by broadcasting MAYDAY
MAYDAY MAYDAY FUEL, when the calculated usable fuel predicted to be available on landing at
the nearest aerodrome where a safe landing can be made is less than the planned final reserve
fuel.
Note 4: The "planned final reserve fuel" refers to the value calculated in 125.280(c)(5) and is the
minimum amount of fuel required upon landing at any aerodrome.
OTAR.125.315 Cosmic radiation
(a) The operator shall take appropriate measures to:
(1) assess the exposure to cosmic radiation when in flight of all crew members who are
