Recently flew up to Dundee for a few days and I took IAP plates for Edinburgh as the alternate. The wx wasn't great which got me thinking....
As neither Edinburgh nor Aberdeen are particularly known for being GA friendly and for a simple wx diversion (say vis <1800m) (as apposed to an emergency) would I be stung for big scale charges (if not for the landing then what about the 3 days parking?!!)
Also what about the idea of a MOD aerodrome as your alternate (Eg Leuchars)
Any thoughts....?
