ifr proceduresFAA-published sample question (IRA, Aug 2021)
What are the alternate minimums for an airport with a precision approach procedure?
A
400 foot ceiling and 2 miles visibility.
B
600 foot ceiling and 2 miles visibility.✓ Correct Answer
C
800 foot ceiling and 2 miles visibility.
Explanation
If the approach procedure does not publish its own alternate minimums, 14 CFR 91.169(c)(1)(i) sets the standard alternate minimums. For an airport with a precision approach, these are a 600-foot ceiling and 2 statute miles visibility. 800 feet and 2 miles is the standard for a nonprecision approach, and 400 feet and 2 miles is not a standard alternate value.
