And I think the minimum fuel that informs ATC that, for a specific aerodrome of intended landing, the aircraft has sufficient fuel remaining to follow the cleared routing, execute an arrival and approach procedure and land with the required fuel reserves. However, there is little or no extra fuel on board and any change to the existing clearance could result in landing with less than planned final reserve fuel. (Diversion to alternate aerodrome is usually not an option except for cases where arrival and landing at the planned aerodrome includes considerable airborne holding.) MINIMUM FUEL is not a declaration which confers any special treatment by ATC, i.e. it is not an emergency situation, but merely an information message which, before this guidance was promulgated, would have led some operators to require that their pilots to declare a PAN. However, controllers should bear in mind that an fuel emergency may arise should any additional delay occur. Controllers are not required to provide priority to pilots of aircraft that have indicated or suggested that they are becoming short of fuel or have used the RTF phraseology “MINIMUM FUEL”. The term MINIMUM FUEL indicates that the pilot, intending to land at a specific aerodrome, calculates that any change to the existing clearance to that aerodrome might result in landing with less than the planned final reserve fuel. Controllers should also take intoaccount that a particular State and/or aircraft operator's procedures may or may not require the use of MINIMUM FUEL and that PAN remains a universally prescribed means of declaring any urgency situation which requires assistance, and which in the case of such a declaration due to low fuel would require priority to be given. Controllers should also recognise that a PAN or a MAYDAY declaration arising because of low fuel may not necessarily use the fuel-specific phraseology suggested in PANS-ATM - the pilot may make a standard urgency or emergency declaration first and only once it has been acknowledged, explain that the problem is low fuel and priority corresponding to the declaration made is required. Controllers shall respond to pilots, who indicate or suggest that they are becoming short of fuel or who have declared “MINIMUM FUEL”, by asking the pilot to confirm whether or not he wishes to declare an emergency after confirming to the pilot, the estimated delay (expressed in minutes) he/she can expect, if the pilot is en-route to, is joining, or is established in an airborne hold, or by expressing the remaining track mileage from touchdown, if the aircraft is being vectored to an approach.

Minimum fuel is no emergency, you just inform the ATC that the fuel you have can only bring you to a specific airport and any change from the initial flight plan may drag you to a mayday fuel situation since you'd have to consume your final reserve.

Thank you for repeating what's already mentioned in the video

@@ATPLStudent to be honest, I answered before watching the video to check if I would get it right 😊... your videos are a delight to watch, thank you.

0:54 minimum fuel I don’t know But the mayday fuel that You have to land at the nearest airport because you do not have enough fuel to reach your destination, and you have to take permission to land at the nearest airport to fill the fuel and continue to your destination!😮

[@ATPLStudent]

Minimum fuel is when the fuel onboard is enough to ONLY get you to your destination and without any delay. upon landing the tanks will ONLY be filled with the Reserve Fuel intact. Mayday fuel However, is when the fuel supply reaches a state that there is no other option but to start burning from the Reserve Fuel. and this is an Emergency situation.

when you start burning Final reserve fuel , it became mayday (simplified)

[@ATPLStudent]

You are correct

[@Pilot_engineer_19]

Mayday minimum is when you land or are arriving with less than your minimum fuel requirements . And hopefully you have declared Mayday, Mayday, Mayday fuel!!!😮
