Fuel, Weather, and Alternate Airfield Planning
COMMON ERROR: Don't confuse your pilot minimums with approach minimums. Remember that all
Naval aviators in a single-piloted aircraft must observe the absolute minimums of 200-1/2 regardless of the
published approach minimums, i.e., published minimums may be 100-1/4, your minimums are 200-1/2.
COMMON ERROR: Your planning minimums on the card below relate destination and alternate weather.
After you are airborne, your minimums are 200-1/2 or better, depending on published minimums.
