The fuel consumption estimation tool developed and offered for use by the European organisation for air safety navigation (Eurocontrol) ( 3 ) is approved for use by:
1.
Small emitters in fulfilment of their monitoring and reporting obligations pursuant to Article 14(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC and Part 4 of Annex XIV to Decision 2007/589/EC;
2.
All aircraft operators pursuant to Part 5 of Annex XIV to Decision 2007/589/EC for the purposes of estimating the fuel consumption of particular flights covered by Annex I to Directive 2003/87/EC where the data necessary to monitor the emissions of carbon dioxide are missing as a result of the circumstances beyond the control of the aircraft operator and which cannot be determined by an alternative method defined in the operator’s monitoring plan.
