CAT II/III capable
|

|
|
What are the weather mins for enroute alternates?
|
Identical to destination alternates.
|
|
|
When is the probability of diversion low?
|
-ETA dest wx>600/2
-low probability of TSTMS -suitable runway, approach, winds |
|
|
You are enroute and your alternate goes below alternate mins, what do you do?
|
-amend the release with a legal alt
or -divert if necessary |
|
|
What is the gotcha regarding Jeppesen alternate minimum values vs UA operations?
|
We don't use charted alternate minimum values, but we do adhere if it says NA in the "For Filing As An Alternate" table.
|
|
|
What does the term "approach facility" mean?
|
