Im finding this thread to be really informative. Lets not ruin it by behaving like condescending dickheads when we think we're right eh?
I think the fact that so many clearly experienced people are in disagreement goes a long way to show how poorly written the regs really are, that something so simple as 'do I need an alternate' can generate this kind of disagreement.
I'd like to see a consensus reached if possible. I know in any grey area situation simply put ill be carrying an alternate, but it would be nice to know what the final word really is.
