REAL Alternate

Welcome to episode 284 today we discuss how to choose a REAL Alternate. It is the season of extreme weather and many times we find ourselves searching for an unplanned landing at an airport other than our destination. In this episode, we will discuss how to choose a “real” alternate, not one required by the regs.

Cruise Flight: 

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.
