Surprised nobody has commented on this:
In order to use Mildura Airport as an alternate, the forecast cloud and visibility were required to be above the alternate minima. The alternate minima for runway 27 at Mildura for large jet aircraft were 1,233 ft and 6 km if the forecast QNH was used. This could be reduced to 1,133 ft if the actual aerodrome QNH was used (see below), although the visibility requirement remained at 6 km.
WTF? - if I flight plan to an airport and look up the current actual QNH then I can reduce the alternate minima by 100 feet? I plan alternate minima based on runway I might be using? Who writes this crap?
