Private Pilots - your reserve fixed fuel requirements are changing. From Nov 8th, you’ll be REQUIRED to carry 30min (VFR) and 45min (IFR/night) reserves. More details herehttp://www.flightsafetyaustralia.com/2018/08/introducing-mayday-fuel/ …
"require pilots to conduct in-flight fuel management with regular fuel quantity checks" In what way is this a change?

Whilst we should always do that of course, I believe it's listed as a change in relation to declaring 'Mayday Fuel' if the pilot believes they'll have to use reserves. As reserves weren't always required, but now are, I think they've highlighted that regarding declaring a MAYDAY.

Yeah I think the clarification is how and when to declare MAYDAY FUEL. It seems strange that fuel planning is listed under "Summary of major changes" Cheers mate. When do you leave for your trip?
