- Copter approaches
- Approach plate states “visibility reduction by helicopters NA.”
- No reduction less than 1/4 mile
An alternate airfield is required when filing IFR if:
- (Weather): Predominant weather through ETA + 1 hour is less than (wx planning mins + 400/1)
- (Radar): Radar is required for the approach
- (Navaids): Navigational aids are unmonitored
Is an alternate required if radar is required for the approach but descent from en route minimum altitude for IFR operations can be made VFR?
No
An alternate airfield can be used when filing IFR if:
- (Weather): Worst weather through ETA + 1 hour is better than (wx planning mins + 400/1)
- (Radar): Radar is not required for the approach
- (Navaids): Navigational aids are monitored
- (G): If GPS is not required for the approach
- (A): ANA does not appear in the FLIP
- (S): Surface area airspace (If class B,C,D, or E surface exists)

(100-1/4)
When does an army aviator no longer have take-off minimums?
50 Hours w/PC
What are the take-off minimums for a pilot with more than 50 hours w/PC?
(0/0)
What is the minimum weather required to initiate an approach?
