What visibility does not require the listing of an alternate on an IFR flight plan?
If the destination has an FAA-approved instrument approach and the weather between an hour before and after the ETA is at least a 2000-foot ceiling and three statute miles visibility, no alternate is required. This is the ol’ 1-2-3 rule.
What is the violation for a pilot filing a IFR flight plan without an instrument rating?
The filing of an IFR flight plan by a pilot without an instrument rating is not a violation. Any person that reads that regulation and concludes otherwise does not understand what he has read.
Which alternate has the least speed?
Explanation: An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current.
Where do I find alternate minimums?
To view the non-standard IFR alternate minimums information, you will need to go to the Airports page > search for the airport > on the Procedures sub-tab, tap on Arrival > and then look for the Alternate minimums line. If there is an entry, tap on it and swipe through the pages until you find the airport in question.
Which is an alternate airport for an IFR flight?
14 CFR § 121.619 – Alternate airport for destination: IFR or over-the-top: Domestic operations.
Can a plane file IFR with no instrument?
If you file an IFR flight plan to an airport with no instrument approach, you must have an alternate filed, even if the weather is completely clear. (FAR 91.169) In addition, your alternate must either have an instrument approach (use your standard alternate minimum requirements) or have weather allowing descent from the MIA to a landing under VFR.
When do you not need an alternate airport?
When flying a domestic US flight, an alternate airport is not required unless the weather is below specific minimums at the destination.
Do you need IFR to land under VFR?
First things first, you’ll need to know if the weather is good enough to land under VFR at your destination. Because there’s not an instrument approach, you’ll need the clouds to be higher than the MIA, or the Minimum IFR Altitude for the area. If there’s an airport reporting weather nearby, use the METAR/TAF to analyze local conditions.
