Descending from MEA to land under VFR
"kevmor" wrote in message ps.com... I'm not sure of the regulation, I've just read it in several places studying for the instrument oral... The only place in Part 91 I'm aware of with language similar to what you wrote is § 91.169(c)(2), but that has to do with filing an IFR flight plan, not the actual operation of the aircraft. § 91.169 IFR flight plan: Information required. (c) IFR alternate airport weather minima. Unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, no person may include an alternate airport in an IFR flight plan unless appropriate weather reports or weather forecasts, or a combination of them, indicate that, at the estimated time of arrival at the alternate airport, the ceiling and visibility at that airport will be at or above the following weather minima: (2) If no instrument approach procedure has been published in part 97 of this chapter and no special instrument approach procedure has been issued by the Administrator to the operator, for the alternate airport, the ceiling and visibility minima are those allowing descent from the MEA, approach, and landing under basic VFR. |

Descending from MEA to land under VFR
"Barry" wrote in message ... Which regulation do you mean? The only place I see this in Part 91 is 91.169(c)(2), which sets requirements for the alternate airport. If weather allows a descent and landing under basic VFR from the MEA, then you can use an alternate airport that has no IAP. I don't see any provision to substitute the MOCA for this. Why would that exclude a MOCA? |
