EROPS: Glf5
I am trying to plan a trip from Mauritius FIMP to Hong Kong VHHH, and the package I use is suggesting a direct route, with Garcia (spl) as an EROPS alternate.
G5 has 120 mins only.
Must we obtain permission from the USN to file as an enroute alternate, or can we just drop in (expecting to stay for several weeks......). In fact is it an approved EROPS for Pt 135 type operations.
If not then we must route the long way round, and might require a tech stop en route.
Trip is in 5 days time: 28th December..................
help, please.
