Section 125.367

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

Section 125.367 Alternate airport for destination: IFR or over-the-top.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph
(b) of this section, each person releasing an airplane for operation under IFR
or over-the-top shall list at least one
alternate airport for each destination
airport in the flight release.
(b) An alternate airport need not be
designated for IFR or over-the-top operations where the airplane carries
enough fuel to meet the requirements
of SectionSection 125.375 and 125.377 for flights outside the 48 conterminous States and
the District of Columbia over routes
without an available alternate airport
for a particular airport of destination.
(c) For the purposes of paragraph (a)
of this section, the weather requirements at the alternate airport must
meet the requirements of the operator-s operations specifications.
(d) No person may release a flight unless that person lists each required alternate airport in the flight release.
Section 125.369 Alternate airport weather
minimums.
No person may list an airport as an
alternate airport in the flight release
unless the appropriate weather reports
or forecasts, or any combination thereof, indicate that the weather conditions will be at or above the alternate
weather minimums specified in the certificate holder-s operations specifications for that airport when the flight
arrives.
Section 125.371 Continuing flight in unsafe
conditions.
(a) No pilot in command may allow a
flight to continue toward any airport
to which it has been released if, in the
opinion of the pilot in command, the
flight cannot be completed safely, unless, in the opinion of the pilot in command, there is no safer procedure. In
that event, continuation toward that
airport is an emergency situation.
Section 125.373 Original flight release or
amendment of flight release.
(a) A certificate holder may specify
any airport authorized for the type of
airplane as a destination for the purpose of original release.
(b) No person may allow a flight to
continue to an airport to which it has

been released unless the weather conditions at an alternate airport that was
specified in the flight release are forecast to be at or above the alternate
minimums specified in the operations
specifications for that airport at the
time the airplane would arrive at the
alternate airport. However, the flight
release may be amended en route to include any alternate airport that is
within the fuel range of the airplane as
specified in Section 125.375 or Section 125.377.
(c) No person may change an original
destination or alternate airport that is
specified in the original flight release
to another airport while the airplane is
en route unless the other airport is authorized for that type of airplane.
(d) Each person who amends a flight
release en route shall record that
amendment.
Section 125.375 Fuel supply: Nonturbine and
turbopropeller-powered airplanes.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph
(b) of this section, no person may release for flight or take off a nonturbine
or turbopropeller-powered airplane unless, considering the wind and other
weather conditions expected, it has
enough fuel - 
(1) To fly to and land at the airport
to which it is released;
(2) Thereafter, to fly to and land at
the most distant alternate airport
specified in the flight release; and
(3) Thereafter, to fly for 45 minutes
at normal crusing fuel consumption.
(b) If the airplane is released for any
flight other than from one point in the
conterminous United States to another
point in the conterminous United
States, it must carry enough fuel to
meet the requirements of paragraphs
(a) (1) and (2) of this section and thereafter fly for 30 minutes plus 15 percent
of the total time required to fly at normal cruising fuel consumption to the
airports specified in paragraphs (a) (1)
and (2) of this section, or fly for 90 minutes at normal cruising fuel consumption, whichever is less.
(c) No person may release a nonturbine or turbopropeller-powered airplane to an airport for which an alternate is not specified under Section 125.367(b)
unless it has enough fuel, considering
