Aren't alternates also used by ATC for lost comm fun? In radar

it's probably not as big of a deal. But when not in radar, if you miss

at
your destination, ATC has a pretty good idea where you're headed next if

you
listed an alternate. Or at least where you said you would head if things
didn't work out at the destination.


Nope, ATC doesn't even know what you filed as an alternate. It's not on

the
flight progress strip. DGB


Really. Well, other than making you think about what could go wrong and
providing more to learn for students, what is it actually used for? (or was
that the original question in this thread...)



So that you pack enough fuel so you can get to an airport that is
bsically VFR

Can you file the departure airport as the alternate?

Two airports in the middle of nowhere 40 miles apart. I can't think of
another reasonable option.

Probably could make some extra change tankering Jet A to HNL. :-)



Problem with that is the extra fuel offloaded from a G5 wouldn't wet the tank
bottoms on a 777. ;-)
