IFR Alternate question
Help. I'm a CFII and I feel either a.) surrounded by idiots, or b.) an idiot myself.
This is the situation. It is a clear blue and a million day. I am filing an IFR flight plan for a flight to an airport WITHOUT an IAP. Must I file an alternate just because this airport does not have an approach? I was under the impression that if the weather at your destination was GREATER THAN the 1-2-3 rule, you were kosher to NOT file an alternate. Please shed some light on this.
Thanks.
