So what do we mean by a “Real” alternate? Recently I had to divert due to unforeseen weather. I found myself thinking about how I chose my eventual alternate and why we should all have an alternate in mind even if not required by law. Today we discuss how to choose a “real” alternate and why one might be important on every flight, even one in the pattern. 

Talking Points:

• Why this episode.
• Diversions are on the rise during the summer.
• When do we need a real alternate?
• The regulations - https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/91.169 
• IFR vs VFR.
• Legal vs Safe.
• tools.
• Contingency planning.
