Plan to an isolated airport (at any time or wx) without an alternate? Just not defendable.
Iron Bar,
Absolute rubbish, you obviously have little knowledge of the law and practice for fuel requirements for isolated airports.
Over the years, I could not count the number of occasions when I have set off for an isolated airport (no realistic alternate) and have arrived without an alternate.
Indeed, the airline I worked for would not have been able to operate a significant part of its operation if an alternate was required for all operations to remote/island airports.
The Four Corners program is a sobering reminder of the paucity of compensation for many industrial injuries, and where money is concerned, there is no justice, only the law.
Tootle pip!!
