Answer 13

Wx ETA 1 hour (TEMPO included) if ceiling is less than 2000 and 3 SM

Question 14

Other Conditions Requiring an Alternate:

Answer 14

All compatible approaches require radar, Required navigational aids (NAVAID) will be unmonitored, The destination has no weather reporting capability, The airfield’s lowest compatible approach weather minimums are greater
than or equal to a 1,500 ft. ceiling or 3 SM visibility

Question 15

Selecting an Alternate

Answer 15

A ceiling of 1000 ft., or 500 ft. above the lowest
compatible minimum, whichever is higher; and a visibility of 2 SM or 1 SM above
the lowest compatible minimum, whichever is higher

NA” (Alternate Not Authorized) on all compatible approaches Any note disqualifying the airfield or all compatible approaches in the
IFR Alternate Minimums section
All approaches are GPS

Question 17

File FVR requirements

Answer 17

Authorized and properly planned
use radar advisory
If Wx degrades tranisition to IFR or land

Fuel Requirements

Answer 18

Ensure sufficient fuel is available
To a final landing, either at the destination airport or alternate airport (if
