You are pilot-in-command of a VFR flight that you think will be within the fuel range of your aircraft. As part of your preflight planning you must
A
be familiar with all instrument approaches at the destination airport.
B
list an alternate airport on the flight plan, and confirm adequate takeoff and landing performance at the destination airport.
C
obtain weather reports, forecasts, and fuel requirements for the flight.✓ Correct Answer
Explanation
14 CFR 91.103(a) requires the pilot in command, for any flight not in the vicinity of an airport, to become familiar with weather reports and forecasts, fuel requirements, and alternatives available if the flight cannot be completed as planned. Knowing every instrument approach is not required for a VFR flight, and a VFR flight plan does not require an alternate airport.
