Study Notes

Flight Planning and Alternate Aerodromes Requirements

For aerodromes without an instrument approach procedure or when the pilot cannot conduct the procedure, the alternate minima is the lowest safe altitude for the final route segment plus 500FT and a visibility of 8KM.
When using a GNSS receiver certified only to (E)TSO C-129, a navigation system other than GNSS must be planned for the destination alternate aerodrome.
Night VFR aircraft must have a suitable alternate aerodrome within one hour flight time of the destination, unless specific conditions are met regarding radio navigation aids or approved GNSS.
The pilot in command must provide for a suitable alternate aerodrome when certain weather conditions are forecasted, such as cloud cover, visibility, or crosswind/tailwind components.
When an aerodrome forecast is not available, the pilot in command must plan for a suitable alternate with an available forecast.
If a TAF is endorsed with a probability of conditions being below the alternate minima, an alternate must be planned for.
When aerodrome lighting is required and PAL is not being used, arrangements must be made for the lighting to be operating during specific periods for departure and arrival.
For flights planned to land at night at an aerodrome with portable runway lighting or without standby power, provision must be made for flight to an alternate aerodrome unless specific arrangements are in place.
An alternate aerodrome nominated in accordance with certain requirements need not have standby power or standby portable runway lighting.
When planning to land at night at an aerodrome with PAL and standby power, provision must be made for a flight to an alternate aerodrome equipped with runway lighting unless specific conditions are met.
The pilot must ensure that the alternate aerodrome has suitable lighting systems in place, meeting specific requirements.
Specific regulations and requirements are in place for the provision and operation of lighting systems at alternate aerodromes.

Aeroplane Take-off Minima and Requirements

Take-off minima apply to non-low-visibility take-offs and non-qualifying multi-engine aeroplanes
Take-off minima include a cloud ceiling of 300 ft and visibility of 2,000 m
The pilot in command must not commence a take-off if meteorological conditions are below the aircraft's take-off minima
Qualifying multi-engine aeroplanes have different take-off minima, with visibility of 800 m, reducible to 550 m under certain conditions
A qualifying multi-engine aeroplane is an IFR aeroplane with specific weight and operational criteria
Sample Departure Briefing Chart includes information on navigation aids, departure procedures, and weather considerations
Sample Take-off Safety Briefing outlines critical speeds, abnormality response, and actions in the event of a malfunction
En Route Local QNH, Area QNH, and Transition Layers dictate altimeter setting rules for different altitudes and locations
Altimeter reference settings change based on the aircraft's altitude and position during climb or descent
Navigation requirements for IFR flights mandate the use of approved area navigation systems
The approved area navigation system must meet the performance requirements of the intended airspace or route
The source for altimeter setting rules and navigation requirements is the AIP ENR 1.1 and 1.7, accessed from a specific website
