SCHEDULE 2 — Fuel use monitoring methods

Introduction

1
  • (1) The procedures specified in this Schedule are concerned with the monitoring of fuel use by aeroplane operators. The methods proposed are representative of the most accurate established practices.
  • (2) Any equivalent procedures to those contained in this Schedule must only be allowed after prior application to and approval by the Regulator for the aeroplane operator concerned.

Fuel Use Monitoring Methods

2

The aeroplane operator, with the exception of an aeroplane operator eligible to use the CERT, must choose from the following Fuel Use Monitoring Methods—

  • (a) Method A,
  • (b) Method B,
  • (c) Block-off/Block-on,
  • (d) Fuel Uplift, or
  • (e) Fuel Allocation with Block Hour.

Method A

3
  • (1) The aeroplane operator must use the following formula to compute fuel use according to Method A45—

$$F N = T N − T N±1 ± U N±1$ where— FN = Fuel used for the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) determined using Method A (in tonnes); TN = Amount of fuel contained in aeroplane tanks once fuel uplifts for the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) are complete (in tonnes); TN+1 = Amount of fuel contained in aeroplane tanks once fuel uplifts for the subsequent flight (i.e. flight N+1) are complete (in tonnes); and UN+1 = Sum of fuel uplifts for the subsequent flight (i.e. flight N+1) measured in volume and multiplied with a density value (in tonnes)46.$

  • (2) The aeroplane operator performing on an ad-hoc basis flights attributed to another aeroplane operator must provide to the latter the fuel measurement values according to the Block-off/Block-on method.
  • (3) Where no fuel uplift for the flight or subsequent flight takes place, the amount of fuel contained in aeroplane tanks (TN or TN+1) must be determined at block-off for the flight or subsequent flight. In exceptional cases the variable TN+1 cannot be determined. This is the case when an aeroplane performs activities other than a flight, including undergoing major maintenance involving the emptying of the tanks, after the flight to be monitored. In such case the aeroplane operator may substitute the quantity “TN+1 + UN+1” with the amount of fuel remaining in tanks at the start of the subsequent activity of the aeroplane or fuel in tanks at Block-on, as recorded by technical logs.

Method B

4
  • (1) The aeroplane operator must use the following formula to compute fuel use according to Method B47—

$$F N = R N−1 − R N ± U N$ where— FN = Fuel used for the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) determined using Method B (in tonnes); RN–1 = Amount of fuel remaining in aeroplane tanks at the end of the previous flight (i.e. flight N-1) at Block-on before the flight under consideration (in tonnes); RN = Amount of fuel remaining in aeroplane tanks at the end of the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) at Block-on after the flight (in tonnes); and UN = Fuel uplift for the flight considered measured in volume and multiplied with a density value (in tonnes)4849.$

  • (2) The aeroplane operator performing on an ad-hoc basis flights attributed to another aeroplane operator must provide to the latter the fuel measurement values according to the Block-off/Block-on method.
  • (3) Where an aeroplane does not perform a flight previous to the flight for which fuel consumption is being monitored (e.g., if the flight follows a major revision or maintenance), the aeroplane operator may substitute the quantity RN-1 with the amount of fuel remaining in the aeroplane’s tanks at the end of the previous activity of the aeroplane, as recorded by technical logs.

Block-off/Block-on

5

The aeroplane operator must use the following formula to compute fuel use according to the Block-off/Block-on Method50—

$$F N = T N − R N$ where— FN = Fuel used for the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) determined using Block-off/Block-on Method (in tonnes); TN = Amount of fuel contained in aeroplane tanks at Block-off for the flight under consideration i.e. flight N (in tonnes); and RN = Amount of fuel remaining in aeroplane tanks at Block-on of the flight under consideration i.e. flight N (in tonnes).$

Fuel Uplift

6
  • (1) For flights with a fuel uplift, unless the subsequent flight has no uplift the aeroplane operator must use the following formula to compute fuel use according to the Fuel Uplift Method51—

$$F N = U N$ where— FN = Fuel used for the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) determined using fuel uplift (in tonnes); and UN = Fuel uplift for the flight considered, measured in volume and multiplied with a density value (in tonnes)52.$

  • (2) For flight(s) without a fuel uplift (i.e. flight N+1, …, flight N+n), the aeroplane operator must use the following formula to allocate fuel use from the prior fuel uplift (i.e. from flight N) proportionally to block hour—

$F N = U N ∗[ B H N B H N ±B H N±1 ±⋅⋅⋅±B H N±n ]$

$F N±1 = U N ∗[ B H N±1 B H N ±B H N±1 ±⋅⋅⋅±B H N±n ]$

$$F N±n = U N ∗[ B H N±n B H N ±B H N±1 ±⋅⋅⋅±B H N±n ]$ where— FN = Fuel used for the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) determined using fuel uplift (in tonnes); FN+1 = Fuel used for the subsequent flight (i.e. flight N+1) determined using fuel uplift (in tonnes); FN+n = Fuel used for the follow-on flight (i.e. flight N+n) determined using fuel uplift (in tonnes); UN = Fuel uplift for the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) (in tonnes)53; BHN = Block hour for the flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) (in hours); BHN+1 = Block hour for the subsequent flight (i.e. flight N+1) (in hours); and BHN+n = Block hour for the follow-on flight (i.e. flight N+n) (in hours).$

Fuel Allocation with Block Hour

7
  • (1) For fuel allocation with block hour, the following calculation methods apply.

Calculation of average fuel burn ratios2For an aeroplane operator which can clearly distinguish between international and domestic fuel uplifts, the aeroplane operator must compute, for each aeroplane type, the average fuel burn ratios by summing up all actual fuel uplifts from international flights, divided by the sum of all actual block hours from international flights for a given year, according to the following formula—$AFBRAO,AT=∑NUAO,AT,N∑NBHAO,AT.N$where—AFBRAO,AT = Average fuel burn ratios for aeroplane operator (AO) and aeroplane type (AT) (in tonnes per hour);UAO,AT,N = Fuel uplifted for the international flight N for aeroplane operator (AO) and aeroplane type (AT) determined using monitoring method Fuel Uplift (in tonnes); andBHAO,AT,N = Block hour for the international flight N for aeroplane operator (AO) and aeroplane type (AT) (in hours).3For an aeroplane operator which cannot clearly distinguish between international and domestic fuel uplifts, the aeroplane operator must compute, for each aeroplane type, the average fuel burn ratios by summing up all actual fuel uplifts from international and domestic flights divided by the sum of all actual block hours from these flights for a given year, according to the following formula—$AFBRAO,AT=∑NUAO,AT,N∑NBHAO,AT.N$where—AFBRAO,AT = Average fuel burn ratios for aeroplane operator (AO) and aeroplane type (AT) (in tonnes per hour);UAO,AT,N = Fuel uplifted for the international or a domestic flight N for aeroplane operator (AO) and aeroplane type (AT) measured in volume and multiplied with a specific density value (in tonnes)55; andBHAO,AT,N = Block hour for the international and domestic flight N for aeroplane operator (AO) and aeroplane type (AT) (in hours).4An aeroplane operator’s specific average fuel burn ratios must be calculated on a yearly basis by using the yearly data from the actual reporting year. The average fuel burn ratios must be reported, for each aeroplane type, in the aeroplane operator’s Emissions Report.

Calculation of fuel use for individual flights5The aeroplane operator must compute the fuel consumption for each international flight by multiplying the aeroplane operator specific average fuel burn ratios with the flight’s block hour according to the following formula—$FN=AFBRAO,AT∗BHAO,AT,N$where—FN = Fuel allocated to the international flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) using the Fuel Allocation Block Hour method (in tonnes);AFBRAO,AT = Average fuel burn ratios for aeroplane operator (AO) and aeroplane type (AT) (in tonnes per hour)5657; andBHAO,AT,N = Block hour for the international flight under consideration (i.e. flight N) for aeroplane operator (AO) and aeroplane type (AT) (in hours).6A verification body must cross-check whether the emissions reported are reasonable in comparison to other fuel related data of the aeroplane operator.7Average Fuel Burn Ratio (AFBR) based on all flights for a reporting year must be rounded to at least three decimal places.
