What must be attached to a dispatch release
WX Reports and available WX forecasts (or combo thereof) for destination airport, intermediate stops, alternate airports that are latest available at the time the release is signed by PIC & dispatcher
What do you do if two engine A/C loses One Engine
PIC shall land the airplane at the nearest suitable airport, in point of time, at which a safe landing can be made
What do you do if 3/4 Engine A/C loses NO MORE than one engine
PIC may proceed to airport he selects if he decides proceeding to airport is as safe as landing at nearest suitable aiport
Part certified - regular, provisional, refueling airports
◦ Part 139
◦ Regular airport: airport used by a certificate holder in scheduled operations and listed in its ops specs.
◦ Provisional airport: airport approved by the Administrator for use by a certificate holder for the purpose of providing service to a community when the regular airport used by the certificate holder is not available.
Airport below mins at ETA
Cannot dispatch to destination if wx is below minimums at ETA
T/O Alternate Needed
◦ If weather conditions at airport of takeoff are below landing minimums (according to ops specs).
◦ A/C 2 Eng’s: Not more than 1hr from dep @ normal cruising speed in still air with 1 Eng INOP
◦ A/C 3+ Eng’s: Not more than 2 hrs from dep @ normal cruising speed in still air with 1 Eng INOP
◦ Alt airport WX must meet ops specs, must be listed in dispatch release
Requirements to depart from a non-listed airport
◦ 121.637
◦ Cannot depart airport unlisted in ops specs unless:
▪ Airport suits operation of A/C (Performance)
