No idea - Tech Quiz 2013
 

At the planning stage, the destination airport forecast visibility includes a TEMPO period below landing minima. Your ETA is within the TEMPO period. Which statement below is correct?

1. The destination may be legally planned.
2. "TEMPO" and "PROB" SHALL NOT be ignored for destination planning.
3. "TEMPO" periods below Alternate Planning Minima may be ignored.

1.

Ref Ops A 8.1.3.5.1

Good luck with the difficult ones!

As usual, the right answer is the least wrong one..

EVERY destination can be legally planned, the question is how many alternates would I need for it...

Ref Ops A 8.1.3.5.1

That would be the document that we are no longer issued with (nor given the tech to download)...

Your name sums it up perfectly. One of the best handles on PPRuNe.

Yes, mmmmmm. Which part about "Tempo Inter Prob for destination can be ignored" don't you understand???

But it also says

"6. Prob, Tempo or Inter weather conditions may be ignored, provided they are at, or above, the applicable published landing minima"

A case of wording for alternate planning minima?

That note is under destination ALTERNATE airport and calculation of minima for filing as an alternate. Also confirmed on front page of all NOTAMs at the moment. Maybe your Ops A is out of date?

Yes and while on the subject of destination alternate planning:-- you now only need to worry about Tempo Inter or Prob Visibilities below the applicable landing minima.....too bad if there is BKN below minimum as well :(. ( As per the Notam....)
