39
Q

I, III, VI Rule

A

IFR Weather and Alternate Airport Requirements

I.
The predominant weather at the destination must be forecast equal or greater than the minimum published approach weather requirements

III. Alternate Airfield required if:

a. Radar is required for Approach at Destination
b. Destination has unmonitored NAVAIDS for Approach
c. The predominant destination weather is not forecasted with a ceiling 400 ft greater and 1 mile visibility greater than needed for the approach

VI. Alternate Airfield Requirements

a. WORST weather must be greater 400 - 1 than as published for approach
b. NO Radar requirements
c. Monitored NAVAID’s
d. Approach is authorized as Alternate (No ANA sign)
e. There must be surfaced controlled airspace
f. a. You can NOT use GPS based approaches on Destination AND Alternate. (WAAS installed: have to use LNAV minima for alternate planning)

Additons:

b. An alternate is not required if descent from en route minimum altitude for IFR operation, approach, and landing can be made in VFR conditions. (3-152; [MEA - FE -> round to higher 100 ft] + 500 ft)
c. Helicopter may reduce destination and alternate Category A visibility minima by 50 %, not less than 1/4 mile. No reduction for Copter only approaches.
