Question for ASA Pilots

[fltdspx]

Just a curious question about fuel. We in dispatch have been told by SEVERAL pilots that
1st. they have to by regs land with not less then 3000lbs.
2nd. if they burn into their reserve. they have to declare an emergency per regs.
3rd. What min fuel requirements per regs do you have to land with.
all of these have been said to dispatch on numinous occasions and no one to date has been able to quote any regs to such statements...please help

This...should be entertaining.

1. Negative. However, can't burn what you don't have.
2. Declare min fuel not an emergency.
3. Enough fly to our point of landing and on for 45 minutes. Generally around 2400-2700 in the 700.

If you're in dispatch, why haven't you read up on the regs and company requirements?

Can you quote the reg that supports statement #3?

An ASA dispatcher will know all of the questions you ask. Ask a dispatcher who is experienced. He or she will help you.

#3. Enough to land. Period. Regs are for planning.

1. Wrong
2. Wrong
3. Preferably enough to taxi to the gate when you land, but if you flameout while touching down, that's fine... although you start getting into the "hazardous and reckless" catch all reg if you do that too often.
