Technical Alternate
Ignore Dest PROB TEMPO/INTER
Technical Alternate
Destination weather:
Consider HW/TW. And Crosswind but gusts ignored
Technical Alternate
Destination weather:
Consider:
• TEMPO
• INTER
• PROB 30/40
Technical Alternate
Destination weather:
Ignore:
• “PROB TEMPO”;
• “PROB INTER”.
Technical Alternate
Wx at the ALTN must be above the GNSS standard Alternate planning Minima

TFC + WX holding
Payload Management Policy
If Payload Limited:
Min CONT 2000kg using ERA (3%) and/or RCL
