Q

PANSOPS: Which different types of “alternate aerodrome” exist?

A
  • Take-off alternate: To be used shortly after take-off when it is not possible to use the aerodrome of departure.
  • En-route alternate: To be used if a diversion becomes necessary while en-route.
  • Destination alternate: To be used if it is impossible or inadvisable to land at the aerodrome of intended landing.

NOTE: The aerodrome from which a flight departs may also be an en-route or a destination alternate aerodrome for that flight
