Take-off alternate

A

When meteorological / performance considerations prevent return to departure AD
- Within one hour still air flight time, at OE INOP cruising speed ISA on actual TOM (f. ex 250 NM great cirk. for an A320)
- Met reports indicate at or above landing minima +/- 1 hour ETA
- if NPA or circling approach: ceiling taken into account
- OE INOP limitations considered

Q

ERA

A
  • At every moment of the flight, an adequate airport has to be reachable. The airport has to be one hour still air OE INOP Cruise distance (for ex. 380 NM)
  • If meteorological and operational conditions permit, DEP can be ERA
  • has to be chosen if planned route exceeds 380 NM to/from DEP/DEST
