Q

What is the 1-2-3 ALT rule

A

An ALT is required if forecast weather at destination is:
+/- 1 hour of ETA is less than 2000’ ceilings or 3 sm visibility. Conditional terms such as TEMPO OR PROB will also require an ALT.

Q

What is the 1-1-3 ALT rule

A

Within the lower 48 states or returning from extended domestic operation an ALT is required if forecast weather is: +/- 1 hour of ETA is less than 1000’ ceilings or 3 sm visibility. CAT 1 runway must be legal and available.

Q

What if an ALT is no longer required?

A

Captain and Dispatcher may agree to amend the release and delete the ALT. ALT fuel will then become extra fuel.

Q

In addition to regulatory requirements, ALT will be added for the following reasons:

A

Crosswind: An alternate will be designated whenever crosswind performance guidelines may prevent a safe landing.
Unlighted Airport: A flight scheduled to land at an unlighted airport 30 min before sunset and must have a lighted ALT.

Q

Determining Alternate Weather Minimums for an airport with two operational approach facilities to different runways

A
  • Add 200 feet to the higher authorized MDA or DA for the two specified approaches, or add 400 feet to the lower authorized MDA or DA for the specified approaches.
  • Add 1 mile to the lower visibility minimum specified for the two approaches or add 1/2 mile to the higher visibility minimum specified for the two approaches.

Use the lowest value obtained from each.

32
Q

Required Dispatch Reports

A
  • 15 minute or greater increase in flight time
  • +/- 5 minutes change from a reported ETA
  • 4000’ cruise altitude change
  • 100 NM or greater lateral deviation from filed route
  • Flight deck fuel quantity indicator fails
  • All contingency fuel will be used
  • Significant different weather or Mod/Sev turbulence
  • The flight is assigned enroute or arrival holding
  • Unplanned or sustained use of deicing or anti-ice
33
Q

What runway conditions would prohibit takeoff?

A
  • Water, slush, or wet snow greater than 1/2”
  • Dry snow greater than 4”
  • Ice if braking action is reported NIL
34
Q

Method 1. FAR 121.191(a1)

A

May create an Enroute Limit Weight at takeoff that may limit MTOG at takeoff that will ensure that:

If an engine is lost the aircraft will clear all terrain 5 miles either side of centerline by 1000’ and still have a positive climb gradient.

Dispatch determine the need for the use of anti-ice weights based on PIREP or forecast weather. Icing conditions are only forecast FL180 and below

35
Q

Method 2. FAR 121.191(a2)

A

If an engine fails above FL240 fly to an enroute ALT clearing all terrain by 2,000’ 5 stat mile from from course and arise 1500’ above ALT with a positive climb gradient.

Assumes engine a anti-ice ON, T + 10c, if engine fails before FL240 it is assumed it will return to departure airport
