02 DEFINITIONS
a) ALTERNATE AERODROME: an a/d to which an a/c may proceed when it becomes either impossible
or inadvisable to proceed to or to land at the a/d of intended landing where the necessary services
and facilities are available, where a/c performance requirements can be met and which is
operational at the expected time of use. It includes:
➔ T/O alternate: 1 hour with one engine operative over 2, or 2h with one engine operative
over 3-4, if all engines -> at max continuous thrust.
➔ En-route alternate.
➔ Destination alternate:
1. No destination alternate if time to destination is less than 6h & 2 RWY at
destination. MINIMA: at ETA +1h ceiling > 500 ft + circling height, visibility ≥ 5km.
2. 2 destination alternates: if RVR < Minima for precision app, OR RVR < Minima +
ceiling < MDH for non-precision app OR no weather forecast.
➔ Departure alternate = Enroute + destination diversion.
b) FLIGHT TIME: from block-off time to rest at the end of the flight = “chock-off chock-on”.
03 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS
• The operator is responsible to make sure that the crews are aware to comply with regulations of the state
where operations are conducted.
• If diversion, PIC chooses, notifies local authorities without delay, if required by state of occurrence, submits
a report (within 10days).

at max certified landing mass.
Categories Vat
A Vat < 91 kt
B 91 ≤ Vat ≤ 120
C 121 ≤ Vat 140
D 141 ≤ Vat ≤ 165
E 166 ≤ Vat ≤ 210
b) T/O OPERATING MINIMA: expressed in RVR (at threshold) or visibility. For multi-engine a/c, which
can with an engine failure during T/O, either stop T/O or continue to 1500 ft height:
Facilities RVR/Visibility
Day: NIL 500 m
Day: RWY edge lighting and/or centreline 400 m
marking
Night: RWY edge and runway end lights or 400 m
runway centreline lights and rwy end lights
