You are at minimum fuel, the nearest alternate is over 100 NM(which you certainly do NOT have enough fuel aboard to make it to)
You just went missed at a non-towered field because could not see anything at DH(or 100 abv TDZE),
wHAT DO YOU DO? Looking for some input in relation to what the 121 world would recommend?
...During an interview I stated I would shut down 1 engine to conserve, fuel declare an emergency, notify operations, FA's, ATC, And request emergency personel be prepared on the field?
Looking for some feedback. Thanks
You dont want to make it worse by flying with one engine.
Min fuel after doing a missed means that you expected to be at an airport with good weather and the weather got bad... In that case before you began the approach you should have landed somewhere else and got more fuel . BUT since your at min fuel with no alternate within 100 NM then your in the middle of nowhere and the best thing to do is declare an emergency cause by that point you would be emergency fuel tell ATC fuel emergency and continue past the DH. The get your pen out cause ur going to write ALOT and do a carpet dance explaning why you got to emergency fuel in the first place
In your answer you didnt say where you would go?
