ALTERNATE REQUIRED
www.rug |
ALTERNATE REQUIRED
W - Weather W - Winds W - Weather reporting capability R - Radar required R - RVSM U - Unmonitored navaid G - GPS only |
|
Regardless of weather, pilots must designate an alternate airport on all IFR flight plans when filing to a destination where: www.rug
|
Forecast winds exceed aircraft limits ± 1 hour of ETA.
When the destination has no weather reporting capability. Noncompliant aircraft when denial of accommodation to (RVSM) airspace would prevent the aircraft or flight from reaching its planned destination, a suitable alternate will be designated that does not require accommodation. All compatible approaches require radar. Required NAVAIDs are unmonitored. GPS is the only available NAVAID. |
|
LOCAL AREA WAIVER
For local flying operations, aircrews do not have to designate an alternate if all of the following conditions exist: |
Departure and destination airfields are the same.
An IP or flight examiner is a crewmember. Ceiling and visibility are reported and forecast to remain at or above 1,500 feet and 3 miles for ETE plus 2 hours |

All compatible approaches ___. ___ is the only available NAVAID. NAVAIDs are ___. There is no ___ capability. ___ is displayed on the approach plate. Forecast ___ exceed aircraft limits ± ___ hour of ETA. Access to ___ airspace is required to reach the alternate for non-compliant aircraft. |
Airports that do not Qualify as Alternates
All compatible approaches require radar. GPS is the only available NAVAID. NAVAIDs are unmonitored. There is no weather reporting capability. (A) NA is displayed on the approach plate. The NA designation means either NAVAIDS are unmonitored or there is no weather reporting capability. Forecast winds exceed aircraft limits ± 1 hour of ETA.
