IFR Alternate weather
Reading through FAR 91.169,there is an area there that seems a little gray with regards to weather forecasts. Lets say that that there is a small airport located 20 miles from an airport that has TAF reporting, this small airport has a non precision approach only. Again, this small airport does not have weather reporting, can you use the TAF for the airport located 20 miles away in order to file the smaller airport as an alternate? I guess I kind of missed something along the way. I was always under the impression that the alternate of your choosing had to have forecast weather on the field.91.169 (c) references reports and forecasts or a combination of them. That is the part that plants the seed of doubt in my pea sized brain!
Thanks to all in advance.
