<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Holding fuel''' refers to the amount of fuel an aircraft needs to fly for the anticipated time spent holding, calculated at the aircraft's holding fuel consumption rate, and is a component of the total fuel required for a flight.<br />
<br />
== Purpose ==<br />
Holding fuel ensures an aircraft has enough fuel to remain in a holding pattern (a procedure where aircraft wait at a specific point in the airspace) for the expected duration.<br />
<br />
== Calculation ==<br />
The amount of holding fuel is determined by:<br />
* The anticipated holding time.<br />
* The aircraft's holding fuel consumption rate (how much fuel the aircraft burns while holding).<br />
* The anticipated meteorological conditions (weather) or ISA (International Standard Atmosphere).<br />
<br />
== Importance ==<br />
Holding fuel is a crucial part of flight planning, as it ensures that the aircraft has enough fuel to complete the flight and any necessary holding procedures.<br />
<br />
== Variations ==<br />
Operators may specify conservative criteria to be used in calculating holding fuel consumption rates. A commonly applied methodology is to round up the holding fuel consumption rate to a readily recallable fuel consumption rate value that is valid in all but the most unlikely holding scenarios.<br />
<br />
== Other Fuel Types ==<br />
Besides holding fuel, other types of fuel are considered in flight planning, including:<br />
<br />
* '''Contingency fuel''': Fuel to cover unforeseen circumstances like weather deviations, route changes, or air traffic delays.<br />
* '''Alternate fuel''': Fuel required to fly to and land at a designated alternate airport if the primary destination airport becomes unusable.<br />
* '''Final reserve fuel''': The minimum fuel required to fly for a specific time (e.g., 45 minutes) at a holding speed at the destination or alternate airport.<br />
