What is the specific fuel requirement for flight under VFR during daylight hours in an airplane?
A
Enough to complete the flight at normal cruising speed with adverse wind conditions.
B
Enough to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after that for 30 minutes at normal cruising speed.✓ Correct Answer
C
Enough to fly to the first point of intended landing and to fly after that for 45 minutes at normal cruising speed.
Explanation
14 CFR 91.151(a)(1) requires enough fuel, considering wind and forecast weather, to fly to the first point of intended landing and then, during the day, for at least 30 minutes at normal cruising speed. 45 minutes is the night requirement, and 'adverse wind' alone is not the rule.
