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?

Remember:
"(b) The pilot in command and the aircraft dispatcher are jointly responsible for the preflight planning, delay, and dispatch release of a flight in compliance with this chapter and operations specifications."
You may be willing to hand your certificate over to a 10 dollar an hour wonder but I'll check what they put on the release. Or you could just fly supplemental and always have an alternate.
Of course, none of this applies to the OP's question.

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.
