Hi everybody.
JAR OPS 1.295 states:
(a).........
(b) An operator must select and specify in the
operational flight plan a take-off alternate if it would
not be possible to return to the aerodrome of
departure for meteorological or performance reasons.
The take-off alternate shall be located within:
(1) For two-engined aeroplanes, either:
(i) One hour flight time at a oneengine-
inoperative cruising speed according
to the AFM in still air standard conditions
based on the actual take-off mass
The case: The airplane I fly is certified to CAT IIIA app. with dual engine only. At the take off time the weather is at CAT IIIA minima. If I came back to land immediately after take off with both engine, I can land. But if engine fails, I can not land back.
Question: (b) above does not particularly specify an engine failure case. Should I select a Take Off alternate?
Thanks in advance
