The aircraft operator shall determine the actual density by using…
− (a) on-board measurement systems;
− (b) the density measured by the fuel supplier at fuel uplift and recorded on the fuel invoice or delivery note.
− The actual density shall be expressed in kg/litre and determined for the applicable temperature for a specific measurement.
