60
When is an Alternate Airport Required?
Far 135.223(b)
This is the Part 135 version of the 1-2-3 Rule.
For at least: 1 Hour Before and
1 Hour After the ETA, the appropriate weather forecasts indicate that:
Ceiling at Destination will be at least 1,500 feet above the lowest circling approach MDA (min descent altitude) OR
IF a circling IS NOT Authorized the forecast ceiling will be at least 1,500 feet above the lowest published minimum OR
2,000 feet above the Airport (AGL) whichever is HIGHER.
Visibility forecast at the destination is at least 3 miles or 2 miles more than the approach visibility, whichever is GREATER.
Example: IF we are launching for Eppley Field (KOMA) for Cat C aircraft, the lowest circling minimum is 735 feet AGL HAA (height above Airport).
If we add 1,500 feet to the HAA we will get 2,235 feet (735 + 1,500) Because TAG’s only break down
A- Ceilings into 100's of feet, we must round this figure UP to to the nearest 100 feet. 2,235 feet now becomes 2,300 feet. 2,300 feet is HIGHER than 2,000 feet. If the forecast ceiling at KOMA is less than 2,300 feet for 1 hour before and 1 hour after our ETA, we MUST file an alternate.
B- Using the same approach above (KOMA ILS 14L), We also need a visibility that is forecast (at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after ETA) to be at least 2 SM greater than the required approach visibility OR 3 SM, whichever is GREATER. The required visibility for this circling approach is 2 SM, therefore, we must have a forecast visibility of at least 4 SM. 4 SM is greater than 3 SM so we must use 4 SM as our minimum visibility.
C- In the above example, if we want to launch for Eppley Field, we must have a forecast ceiling that is GREATER than 2,300 feet AGL and visibility at least 4 SM or we MUST file an alternate.
61
If forecast weather at our destination is below landing minimums, can we launch?
NO. Legally we cannot launch for a destination if the forecast weather is below landing minimums.
62
What is the standard takeoff minimum?
1 SM
63
If the reported visibility one morning at KOPF is 1/2 SM, can we depart? What provisions are needed for us to do so?
135.217
Yes we can depart. Because the weather is lower than the authorized landing minimum at KOPF (we can depart, but if anything happened after v1, we could not legally return), we must have a TAKEOFF ALTERNATE, which must be within 1 hours flying time (at normal cruise speed, in still air) of KOPF.
*OP SPEC C079- Lower than standard takeoff minima. In this example, because KOPF does not have RVR (RVR is ALWAYS controlling), as per our OP SPECS, we can take off with as little as * 1/4 SM visibility at KOPF. For airports with RVR Reports, we can takeoff with as little as RVR.
* 600-TDZ/ 600-MID/ 600-RO if the condition listed in * C079-2 Table 1 are met. In addition to this, the pilots must receive special training to conduct departures with visibility lower than standard.
64
What must be taken into consideration when choosing a suitable runway at a destination?
135.385-Airplane must be able to come to a complete stop within 60% of the runway distance. If the runway is wet/slippery, landing distance must be increased by 115% and that 115% landing distance must fall within 60% of the available runway.
note ( wet 115% (60%)
65
Are there any considerations for a Captain with less than 100 hours in type?
In our Ops Specs, a Captain with less than 100 hours in type CANNOT perform lower than standard takeoffs.
66
Who maintains operational control of EAS aircraft?
The operator of (EAS) must maintain ops control over all activity of any aircraft listed on its Ops Specs (D85). Currently, the personnel authorized to have operational control (A006) are:
The Chief Pilot
The Director of Operations
The Director of maintenance.
67
How many RVR reporting stations must a runway have in order for us to take off below 1600 RVR take-off minimums?
2-OP SPEC C079
68
Can we depart at night from a runway with no lighting part 135?
NO, refer to 135.229 Airport requirements
69
By how far should we avoid a thunderstorm? How can we determine which direction it's traveling?
20 miles, traveling in the direction of the anvil.
70
OP SPEC C055
How Do We Determine the Weather Minimums Needed for Our Alternate Airport?
First We Need to Make sure we can use the Airport As An Alternate
A. Done by checking the 10-9 Jep Airport Page.
B. If the Page States "NA" on the "For Filing As An Alternate" section, IT CANNOT BE USED.
C. IF Numbers are printed in this section WE MUST USE C055 to Derive Weather Minimum.
D. IT Must have Weather Reporting and A Ground Based Nav Aid.

A. The 400 & 1 Rule AND
B. The 200 & 1/2 Rule.
72
What is the 400 & 1 Rule?
A. If the Alternate is forecast to have ceilings 400 feet above the lowest straight in minimum (or circling if a straight in is NOT authorized) AND
B. 1 SM more than the lowest straight in (or circling if a straight in is not authorized) visibility then IT CAN BE USED for an alternate.
73
What is an Example of the 400 & 1 Rule?
A. EXAMPLE; Our Flight to KOMA we listed Lincoln (KLNK) as our alternate. The ILS 18 has a DA of 200 Feet AGL AND A Required VISIBILITY OF 1/2 SM.
B. Using the 400 & 1 Rule, to FILE KLNK as an alternate we would NEED forecast weather of 600 Feet and 1 1/2 SM (200+400=600 and 1/2 + 1 = 1 1/2.
74
What is the 200 & 1/2 RULE?
A. If the Alternate Airport has TWO (2) straight in approaches to 2 Suitable separate runways and TWO (2) suitable ground based NAV AIDS, then we can apply 200 feet to the second best approach and 1/2 SM to the second BEST Visability.
75
What is an example of the 200 & 1/2 RULE?
A. Our Example of KLNK used for the 400 rule has the following,
B. We have ILS 18 and VOR 17 as our TWO (2) Separate suitable straight in approaches to difference runways, Using TWO (2) separate NAV AIDS.
C. We Add 200 feet to the SECOND BEST APPROACH for our category (200+500= 700) AND then ADD 1/2 SM to the Second Best Visibility, of AT LEAST 1 7/8 SM to be an suitable alternate.
