We don’t need an alternate or we can use one that doesn’t adhere to the requirements if the descent, approach and landing from minima IFR altitude can be made in VFR conditions.

Calculate:

51
Q

During IFR flight

When no VOR is available for the departure

When we have to use GPS as primary navaid
| NMS

68
Q

Which approach is the only one where we don’t set/use CDI on approach course ?

A

LNAV approach
(NMS)

69
Q

What does it mean when “radar” is required for a departure/approach ?

A

Radar equipment on a/c is required bc. the procedure calls for ATC vectoring you
