Which airline is associated with the five-minute contingency fuel note?

• A. United Express
• B. GoJet
• C. Delta Connection
• D. American Eagle

Answer: (A)

Contingency fuel is extra fuel carried specifically to cover unexpected delays or changes in the flight path, such as taxi delays, weather detours, or holds. The five-minute contingency fuel note is a particular policy phrase used in preflight planning to ensure crews have a small, predictable cushion beyond the planned fuel burn.

In this material, the note is associated with United Express. That branding is used for the regional operations feeding United Airlines, and the training materials for those operations include this five-minute contingency fuel note as part of standard planning procedures. The other brands listed—Delta Connection and American Eagle—have their own carrier-specific notes in their respective training contexts, but the five-minute contingency fuel note here is tied to United Express.
