3.  The following fleet and operations data is required—

(a) list of the aeroplane types and type of fuel, such as Jet-A, Jet-A1, Jet-B, and AvGas, used in aeroplanes operated for international flights at the time of submission of the Emissions Monitoring Plan, recognising that there may be changes over time. The list must include—

(c) procedures on how changes in the aeroplane fleet and fuel used will be tracked, and subsequently integrated in the Emissions Monitoring Plan;

(d) procedures on how the specific flights of an aeroplane will be tracked to ensure completeness of monitoring;

(e) procedures for determining which aeroplane flights meet the definition of international flights and are therefore subject to the requirements in Part 3 of this Order;

(f) list of States to where the aeroplane operator operates international flights at the time of initial submission of the Emissions Monitoring Plan(1);

(g) procedures for determining which international aeroplane flights are subject to offsetting requirements under Part II, Chapter 3 of Annex 16, Volume IV to the Chicago Convention(2);
