Question 1

Alternate Required

Answer 1

Within +/- 1 hour of ETA forecasted weather is less than 2000ft/3sm
International over 6 hours
RNAV approach only at destination
Severe icing
Method 2 dispatch

Question 2

ARTR Required

Answer 2

Supplemental crew change

Alternate added
Fuel added over 1000lbs
Takeoff alternate added
MEL removed or added
Reroute more than 100 miles

Question 3

Method 1

Answer 3

If an engine fails between V1 and the destination, driftdown allows for obstacle clearance by 1000ft and 5sm either side of intended route

Question 4

Method 2

Answer 4

If an engine fails, the aircaft will divert to a driftdown alternate from planned cruise and clear obstacles by 2000ft and 5sm either side of indended route to alternate

Question 5

Takeoff Alternate Required

Answer 5

When departure airport weather is below CAT 1 landing minimums

Question 6

Exemption 20144

Answer 6

Allows the use of conditional language in forecast at destiation and/or alternate to dispatch with alternates below standard minimums

Question 7

Exemption 20295

Answer 7

Allows for dispatch without lower alternate requirements based on availablity of ILS approaches
1000ft/3sm for CAT 1, 1000ft/2sm for CAT2/3
Thunderstorms cannot be in forecast within +/- 1 hour of ETA

Question 8

Suitable Alternate Requirements

Answer 8

Based off of derived alternate minimums
