Q

Marginal

A

Weather is considered “marginal” if the ceiling is within 100 feet, or the visibility is
within 1/2 mile of the minimums for that airport. When the weather conditions
forecast for the destination airport, based on CAT I minimums, and the first alternate
airport, based on derived alternate minimums, are marginal, then at least one
additional alternate must be designated.

Q

When do security checks need to be done?

A

First flight of the day:
Early search- 2300-2400 LT day prior
Delayed search- flights scheduled to arrive after 2300, and then depart at 0100 or earlier, search may be delayed until next city

International- 2
One done at departure, the other done upon arrival

Private charter
Done prior to returning aircraft to revenue service
You can repo without the search done, no revenue pax or cargo are allowed on board.
*Apple charters are considered scheduled flights and are treated like first flight of day searches
*Maintaining security means close all doors and windows, and pull the jet bridge. Unless the jet bridge has a locking door.
*Contact SOC if not sure search is done.
