International Weather Flashcards
Can you deviate from your oceanic route for weather without attempting to get a deviation clearance?
(Atlantic Hi/Lo 1/2, Tab 2, mid panel)
No, you must attempt to get a deviation clearance. If you cannot obtain the deviation clearance, you can deviate and obtain a deviation clearance at the earliest possible time.
