When to File IFR (11-202V3, 4.15)
IFR should be filed to the max extent possible
Weather requires IFR (VFR cannot be maintained)
Airspace rules require an IFR flight plan (Class A airspace)
Night operations
Faster than 180 knots on federal airways
When do you need to file an alternate? (11-202V3 4.15.3) [123
WWGRRUM]
+/- 1 hour of your ETA (to include TEMPO) is below 2000' ceilings
or 3 SM visibility [AETC can lower minimums to 1500' and 3 SM via
202v3_AETCSUP]
Weather reporting does not exist at your destination
Winds at your destination are, or are forecasted to be, out of limits +/-
1 hour of your ETA
GPS is required for all compatible approaches
Radar is required for all compatible approaches
RVSM denial would prevent you from reaching your destination (FL290-
FL410) [AIM 4.6.1]
Unmonitored NAVAIDS at destination which are required for
compatible approaches
, Mins- lowest compatible approach minimums at your destination are
1500' and 3 SM
AMC:
- Departure or Destination is outside of OCONUS (EXCEPTION: OCONUS
dep to CONUS destination or intra-theater flights <3hrs. If used aircrew
must update wx 3 hours priori to landing to verify expected conditions)
- All flights participating in a named contingency operation
File two alternates when filing to a destination where (based on lowest
compatible approach)
- forecast vis is less than published precision approach
- ceiling or vis is less than published for all approaches (for approaches
with no published ceiling requirement: min required ceiling = HAA or
HAT rounded to nearest hundred)
- destination under forecast or known severe icing or turbulence for
arrival (not applicable for remote or island destinations)
Selecting an Alternate (202v3) [11521]
+\- 1 hr of ETA
Ceiling (or better) of 1000' OR Ceiling (or better) 500' above lowest
compatible approach mins whichever is greater
Vis of 2SM OR Vis 1SM above the lowest compatible approach mins
whichever is greater
Conditions that disqualify an alternate? (AFI 11-202V3 4.16.3)
[112WWRRAGU]
Weather forecasted at alternate +/- 1 hour to include TEMPO (except
those caused by TS, SHRA, SHSN) will create a ceiling 1000' (or 500'
above mins) and 2 SM (or 1 SM above mins) whichever is higher
