Senario - do we need an alternate?
Here's a question for you....
This issue has come up repeatedly, and as far as I can tell, colleagues are evenly split on the answer.
Assume you are flying from A to B, with preflight WX not indicating alt required, so we are landing with standard company FOD (2.4 for 737 / 2.0 for Ejet).
ATC broadcasts a Hazard Alert for B, with WX now below the alt minima.
Do you now need an alternate for B ??
I have tried not to be leading in this senario - I have a strong opinion on the answer (which I'll withhold for now), and have sought answers from CAR, CAO, CAAP, Vol 1, Jepps etc, but opinions are divided.
Thoughts?
