In radar environments, it's probably not as big of a deal. But when not in radar, if you miss at your destination, ATC has a pretty good idea where you're headed next if you listed an alternate. Or at least where you said you would head if things didn't work out at the destination. Nope, ATC doesn't even know what you filed as an alternate. It's not on the flight progress strip. DGB Really. Well, other than making you think about what could go wrong and providing more to learn for students, what is it actually used for? (or was that the original question in this thread...) So that you pack enough fuel so you can get to an airport that is bsically VFR |
