Section 3 of the GOM
Divert = Fuel to destination + furthest alternate + 45 minutes (1800 lbs)
Final Divert = Fuel to destination + furthest alternate + 30 minutes (1206 lbs)
If you are going to land with less than 1800 lbs, declare “min fuel”.
If you are going to land with less than 1206 lbs,
declare “Emergency Fuel”.
