Unless that airport is one that is not authorized as an alternate. As I understand it, most that don't
have wx reporting are so designated. Ron Natalie wrote: "Stan Gosnell" wrote in message ... I thought it was. Perhaps I wasn't clear. He can file a destination with no approaches or weather, but he can't file an alternate with no approaches or weather. I think he was confusing destination and alternate requirements. He specifically asked if the alternate had to have weather reporting. There is no requirement that the alternate have an approach nor is their a strict requirement for "on-field" weather at the alternate. If the forcast is for severe clear with no "chance of" or "probability of" lower than VFR conditions from the MEA down to the ground, it's legal to use that airport as an alternate. -- --Ray Andraka, P.E.
