§ 125.379 

§ 125.375 Fuel supply: Nonturbine and 

turbopropeller-powered airplanes. 

(a) Except as provided in paragraph 

(b) of this section, no person may re-
lease for flight or take off a nonturbine 
or turbopropeller-powered airplane un-
less, considering the wind and other 
weather conditions expected, it has 
enough fuel— 

(1) To fly to and land at the airport 

to which it is released; 

(2) Thereafter, to fly to and land at 

the most distant alternate airport 
specified in the flight release; and 

(3) Thereafter, to fly for 45 minutes 

at normal crusing fuel consumption. 

(b) If the airplane is released for any 

flight other than from one point in the 
conterminous United States to another 
point in the conterminous United 
States, it must carry enough fuel to 
meet the requirements of paragraphs 
(a) (1) and (2) of this section and there-
after fly for 30 minutes plus 15 percent 
of the total time required to fly at nor-
mal cruising fuel consumption to the 
airports specified in paragraphs (a) (1) 
and (2) of this section, or fly for 90 min-
utes at normal cruising fuel consump-
tion, whichever is less. 

(c) No person may release a nontur-

bine or turbopropeller-powered air-
plane to an airport for which an alter-
nate is not specified under § 125.367(b) 
unless it has enough fuel, considering 
wind and other weather conditions ex-
pected, to fly to that airport and there-
after to fly for 3 hours at normal cruis-
ing fuel consumption. 

§ 125.377 Fuel supply: Turbine-engine- 

powered airplanes other than tur-

bopropeller. 

(a) Except as provided in paragraph 

(b) of this section, no person may re-
lease for flight or takeoff a turbine- 
powered airplane (other than a turbo-
propeller-powered airplane) unless, 
considering the wind and other weather 
conditions expected, it has enough 
fuel— 

(1) To fly to and land at the airport 

to which it is released; 

(2) Thereafter, to fly to and land at 

the most distant alternate airport 
specified in the flight release; and 

(3) Thereafter, to fly for 45 minutes 

at normal cruising fuel consumption. 

(b) For any operation outside the 48 

conterminous United States and the 
District of Columbia, unless authorized 
by the Administrator in the operations 
specifications, no person may release 
for flight or take off a turbine-engine 
powered airplane (other than a turbo-
propeller-powered airplane) unless, 
considering wind and other weather 
conditions expected, it has enough 
fuel— 

(1) To fly and land at the airport to 

which it is released; 

(2) After that, to fly for a period of 10 

percent of the total time required to 
fly from the airport of departure and 
land at the airport to which it was re-
leased; 

(3) After that, to fly to and land at 

the most distant alternate airport 
specified in the flight release, if an al-
ternate is required; and 

(4) After that, to fly for 30 minutes at 

holding speed at 1,500 feet above the al-
ternate airport (or the destination air-
port if no alternate is required) under 
standard temperature conditions. 

(c) No person may release a turbine- 

engine-powered airplane (other than a 
turbopropeller airplane) to an airport 
for which an alternate is not specified 
under § 125.367(b) unless it has enough 
fuel, considering wind and other weath-
er conditions expected, to fly to that 
airport and thereafter to fly for at 
least 2 hours at normal cruising fuel 
consumption. 

(d) The Administrator may amend 

the operations specifications of a cer-
tificate holder to require more fuel 
than any of the minimums stated in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section if 
the Administrator finds that additional 
fuel is necessary on a particular route 
in the interest of safety. 

§ 125.379 Landing weather minimums: 

IFR. 

(a) If the pilot in command of an air-

plane has not served 100 hours as pilot 
in command in the type of airplane 
being operated, the MDA or DA/DH and 
visibility landing minimums in the cer-
tificate holder’s operations specifica-
tion are increased by 100 feet and one- 
half mile (or the RVR equivalent). The 
MDA or DA/DH and visibility mini-
mums need not be increased above 
those applicable to the airport when
