<p>New rules covering minimum fuel requirements for all Australian aircraft were scheduled to start on November 8, 2018&nbsp;but have now been extended to Feb. 28, 2019. The rules re-introduce a 30-minute fixed fuel reserve requirement, reduce reserve requirements for day VFR operations in small piston or turboprop airplanes, require pilots to conduct in-flight fuel management with regular fuel quantity checks and if required declare “mayday fuel,” and introduce “additional fuel,” which simplifies the planning requirements for fuel contingencies. The changes more closely align Australian fuel rules with U.S. standards and ICAO recommended practices.&nbsp;</p>
