Question 5

Need an Destination Alternate “1-2-3” Rule

Answer 5

A destination alternate is always required unless

1) An instrument approach is published and available for the destination, AND,

For at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after ETA:
2) Ceiling will be at least 2000ft above airport elevation
3) Visibility will be at least 3SM

Question 6

IFR Min Fuel Requirements

Answer 6

(91.167)
1) Fuel form departure to destination airport
PLUS
2) Fuel from destination to most distant alternate (if an alternate is required) PLUS
3) 45 minutes calculated at normal cruise speed

Question 7

Min WX conditions required at an airport to list it as an alternate

(No instrument Approach Available at the Alt)

Answer 7

Ceiling & visibility must allow descent from MEA, approach and landing under VFR

Question 8

Min WX conditions required at an airport to list it as an alternate

(Precision approach)

Answer 8

600ft ceiling and 2SM visibility

Question 9

(Non-Percision Approach)

Answer 9

800ft ceiling and 2SM visibility

Question 10

IFR Takeoff Minimums

Answer 10

Prescribed T/O minimums for the runway or if none:
1-2 Engines = 1SM vis
More then to = 1/2SM vis
