Your departure HB is delayed so that the ETA SRN becomes 09002. You obtain a new TAF for ‘SRN and this indicates no further weather alternate requirements. b. Are there any further alternate considerations other than weather and nav aids? ‘The following TAF is issued on Moorabbin (YMMB): TAF YMMB 221830 2220/2808 19020G35 6000 SH BKNO15 BECMG 2306/2308 24025640 4000 RA BKNOO9 ETA MB 0545 ©. Do you have a weather alternate requirement? d. You are planning an IFR fight from Bendigo (YB0G) to Ararat (YARA). Since YARA is a no-aid aerodrome it would require an alternate but if you wished to avoid the alternate requirements, what weather criterla must be met? 7. CLASS D AIRSPACE SEPARATION a) What is the V.M.C. criteria in Class D airspace if you elect to depart VER? b) Who is responsible for traffic separation during this VER. departure? ©) Ifan LER. departure is required due to non-V.M.C. who will provide LF-R. to IER. separation? 106 ‘Avecan Aviation - Instrument Rating and Mult-Engine Briefing NotesThe Instrument Rating [=the 8.
