Helo World
In the Helo world it means fuel to RTB based on your best burn rate back.. for instance in a OH-58D it is somewhere around 250lbs when you are approx 50 miles away from your Refuel point. in a UH-60 it can be anything from 600-1000 (I would guess also the same for AH-64s too) based on flight profile. Also these numbers are usually used in the tactical sense barring the reserve and alternate.
