Question 1

Minimum planned take-off fuel is 160 kg (30% total reserve fuel is included). Assume the groundspeed on this trip is constant. When the aircraft has done half the distance the remaining fuel is 70 kg. Is diversion to a nearby alternate necessary?

Accepted Answer

Diversion to a nearby alternate is necessary, because the remaining fuel is not sufficient.

Answer

Diversion to a nearby alternate is not necessary, because it is allowed to calculate without reserve fuel.

Answer

Diversion to a nearby alternate is not necessary, because the reserve fuel has not been used completely.

Answer

Diversion to a nearby alternate is necessary, unless the captain decides to continue on his own responsibility.
