1. To maintain instrument currency, a pilot must have made six
approaches and demonstrated proper holding procedures as well
as intercepting and tracking courses through the use of navigational
electronic systems in the last six months.
2. An alternate is not required if your destination has an instrument
approach procedure, and the weather at your destination is forecast
to be at least a 2,000' ceiling and visibility of at least three miles.
The forecast must be from one hour before to one hour after your
estimated time of arrival.
3. If an alternate airport is needed, forecasted weather at ETA must be
at least 600' ceiling and 2 miles visibility for a precision approach; an
alternate airport that offers only a non-precision approach must be at
least 800' ceiling and 2 miles visibility.
4. Reserve fuel of 45 minutes is required for IFR flights; 30 minutes for VFR
day flights; and 45 minutes for VFR night flights. This reserve is required
in addition to the fuel required to fly to your destination and alternate.
