Final Reserve (HOLD) Fuel is calculated to be the fuel to fly for 30 minutes at holding speed 1,500ft above aerodrome elevation in ISA calculated with the estimated landing mass on arrival at the alternate or the destination, when no alternate is required.

I would have stabbed a guess at 30 mins myself without any reference, well done for locating the reference. To take the thread further, can anyone shed the light as to WHY it is different for Jets and Turboprops?
