WX reported @ departure airport is AOA TO minimums. - correct answer ✔When may a flight depart?
WX reported @ departure airport is < landing minimums at departure airport. -
correct answer ✔When is an alternate airport required for departure? (Takeoff alternate).
Not more than one hour based on normal cruise, still air, with 1 engine inoperative. - correct answer ✔What are the distance limitations (from departure to takeoff alternate) when operating a twin-engine airplane.
WX indicated @ destination at ETA is at or above landing minimums. - correct
answer ✔When may a flight be dispatched IFR?
WX indicated @ destination at ETA + or - 1 hour <C 2000' and/or V <3SM. - correct answer ✔When is an alternate indicated for the destination required for a domestic flight?
1. ETE is < or equal to 6 hours; 2. C 1500' above HAT or 2000' whichever is greater, 3. V 2SM above lowest landing minimums or 3SM whichever is greater. - correct answer ✔When is an alternate for the destination not required for a flag carrier?
When weather conditions forecast for the destination and first alternate are marginal. (WX FCST @ Destination & 1st Alt is marginal.) - correct answer ✔When is at least one additional alternate for the destination required? Nearest suitable airport in point of time (ASAP). - correct answer ✔Where does a pilot of a two-engine aircraft go if one engine is lost in flight?

Indicated airspeed (IAS) - is read directly from the airspeed indicator. Calibrated airspeed (CAS) - is indicated airspeed corrected for instrument and
position error. Equivalent airspeed (EAS) - is calibrated airspeed corrected for compressibility. True airspeed (TAS) - is equivalent airspeed corrected for non-standard temperature and pressure. (Remember the relationship between the various airspeeds with the term ICE-
T ) - correct answer ✔Air speeds
Alternate airport (A) - An airport at which an aircraft may land if landing at the intended airport becomes inadvisable. - correct answer ✔Alternate Airport
