Which statement best describes BINGO measurement?

• A. Measured from Destination Airfield to Alternate Airfield
• B. Measured from Takeoff Airfield to Destination Airfield
• C. Measured from Destination Airfield to Departure
• D. Measured from Alternate Airfield to Destination Airfield

Answer: (A)

BINGO fuel is the minimum fuel required to fly from the destination airfield to the alternate airfield, including reserves, so you can reach an alternate if you cannot land at the destination. That’s why the measurement is described as from the Destination Airfield to the Alternate Airfield. It isn’t about fuel to get from takeoff to the destination, nor about the leg from the alternate back to the destination or to departure. The key idea is: after arriving at the destination, you must still have enough fuel to reach the alternate.
