§ 125.381 

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 
used as an alternate airport, but in no 
event may the landing minimums be 
less than a 300-foot ceiling and 1 mile 
of visibility. 

(b) The 100 hours of pilot-in-command 

experience required by paragraph (a) 
may be reduced (not to exceed 50 per-
cent) by substituting one landing in op-
erations under this part in the type of 
airplane for 1 required hour of pilot-in- 
command experience if the pilot has at 
least 100 hours as pilot in command of 
another type airplane in operations 
under this part. 

(c) Category II minimums, when au-

thorized in the certificate holder’s op-
erations specifications, do not apply 
until the pilot in command subject to 
paragraph (a) of this section meets the 
requirements of that paragraph in the 
type of airplane the pilot is operating.

§ 125.381

Takeoff and landing weather 

minimums: IFR. 

(a) Regardless of any clearance from 

ATC, if the reported weather condi-
tions are less than that specified in the 
certificate holder’s operations speci-
fications, no pilot may— 

(1) Take off an airplane under IFR; or
