This manual identifies and reviews various operational opportunities and techniques for minimizing fuel consumption, and therefore emissions, in civil aviation operations. It is based on the premise that the most effective way to minimize aircraft emissions is to minimize the amount of fuel used in operating each flight. This manual updates and replaces information previously provided in ICAO Circular 303- Operational Opportunities to Minimize Fuel Use and Reduce Emissions, published in 2004.
This document contains information on current practices that are followed by aircraft operators, airport operators, air navigation services providers (ANSPs), other industry organizations and States, which are intended to minimize fuel use and reduce emissions from civil air transport. The manual is therefore aimed at airlines, airport operators, air traffic management and air traffic control service providers, airworthiness authorities, environmental agencies and other government bodies and interested parties.
It should be noted that this manual is not inended to be the basis for regulatory action, and the choice of many of the operational procedures presented depends upon many factors other than environmental benefits. Safety must always be the overriding consideration in all civil aviation operations and the operator, in conjunction with the operating crew, must remain the ultimate judge of what can be done to minimize fuel consumption while maintaining the necessary safety margins.
