NZ IFR Rules - PT2 | Quiz - Pilot George, L3 Airline Academy (CTC Aviation) Cadet Blog

While I have tried to ensure the information in this quiz is accurate, it is your own responsibility to check it against your airline / manufacturer manuals. With that said, if you spot any obvious errors then please let me know the question number and I'll aim to put it right!

Q146 For a precision approach, an aerodrome must not be listed as an alternate aerodrome unless the weather forecast at the time of submitting the flight plan indicates that, at the estimated time of arrival, the ceiling and visibility at that aerodrome will be at or above the following weather minima:

Ceiling of 400 ft or 100 ft above DA/DH, whichever is the higher, and visibility of 3000 m or 1000 m more than the prescribed minimum, whichever is the greater.

Ceiling of 800 ft or 200 ft above DA/DH, whichever is the higher, and visibility of 3000 m or 1000 m more than the prescribed minimum, whichever is the greater.

Ceiling of 600 ft or 200 ft above DA/DH, whichever is the higher, and visibility of 3000 m or 1000 m more than the prescribed minimum, whichever is the greater.

Ceiling of 200 ft or 50 ft above DA/DH, whichever is the higher, and visibility of 3000 m or 1000 m more than the prescribed minimum, whichever is the greater.
