Destination Alternate Required?
Preflight
✈ 1 x alternate required in principle;
✈ 2 x alternates required if DEST weather forecast intermittently < LDG minima at ETA
✈ Unless…ALTN weather CIG > 1500’ and VIS > 5000m at ETA - then only require 1 ALTN
Inflight - Destination
✈ If DEST weather forecast < LDG minima at ETA…
- Require additional ALTN to continue towards DEST
- If additional ALTN can’t be selected & weather not forecast to improve at DEST, must change DEST.
- Not applicable if…
1) Able to HOLD until weather forecast to improve at DEST or,
2) The ALTN weather at ETA indicates CIG > 1500’ and VIS > 5000m or,
3) The aircraft diverts to the ALTN
Inflight - Alternate
✈ If ALTN weather forecast < ALTN minima… - Select a new ALTN; or
- Don’t continue to DEST unless
1) CIG > 2000’ or DH/MDH + 1500’ and
2) VIS > 5000m or RVR/VIS + or 3200m and
3) Flight time < 6 hours;
- If neither options available - must change DEST (if ALTN can’t be selected without change to destination due fuel)
Inflight – Destination + Alternate
✈ If both DEST and ALTN below company minima, select new DEST with new ALTN
Inflight – Other
✈ If DEST closed temporarily, may continue taking consideration weather and fuel remaining until reopened. - If safety may be interferred with, destinaton shall be changed;
✈ When safety of flight will be inteferred with by CB’s, turbulence or NAV facilities, change route
What do you check on Journey Log?
- Firstly Registration number is correct and matches the ID plate of A/C. Mechanic will call out and Capt will as well to confirm.
- Pre flight check is completed - 48 hours for international flights (Block Out). First flight of the day for domestic,
- MEL/CDL Ship condition & Remarks
- Fuel is loaded and same as the flight plan.
- After confirming the airworthiness & maintence conditions of Airplane if the Captain then decides to accept the ship can sign on “Checked By” column.
Alternate Minima Value? Difference from 767?
767 did not have CAT II & CAT III Alternate minima.
CAT III - 1200
CAT II - 300-1200
CAT I - 600-2000
Non Precision App - 800-3000
Circling App - 800-3600
- If DH/MDH or RVR/CMV or VIS is higher then previous value then add 100ft to DH/MDH and/or 400m to RVR/CMV/VIS
What does RVR//// mean?
- REDL or RCLL are out of service
- When //// is reported, apply CMV
When is RVR reported?
- VIS BLW 1500m or RVR below 2000m however many airports in Japan such as RJAA, RJTT & RJBB report BLW 1800m. Check AIM J

Contingency Fuel?
5% of Burn off OR
15 minutes holding, whichever is greater.
These equal each other at around 2000nm.
- In planning assumed consumed by time A/C lands at destination HOWEVER in calculating allowable LDG weight, fuel is considered not consumed.
Alternate Fuel?
Fly TO, land AT Alternate Aerodrome after Go-Around at the destination. (If 2 alternates are used the most distant shall be used for fuel planning)

min (Holding at 1,500ft in ISA conditions)
Pre Flight (NO ALTERNATES)- 2 hours (Flying at cruising SPD)
IN FLIGHT (NO ALTERNATES)- 30 min (Holding at 1,500ft in ISA conditions)
VFR- 45 min (Flying at cruising SPD)
-Calculated at estimated LDG wt at alternate.
