Outside the United States, can you land with a missing temperature report?

• A. You may not land with missing temperature outside the United States
• B. You may land outside the United States with missing temperature if dispatcher approves
• C. You may land outside the United States with missing temperature
• D. You may not depart outside the United States with missing temperature

Answer: (A)

Missing temperature information prevents performing the necessary altitude and performance calculations for a safe landing. Outside the United States, crews must have current temperature data to apply density altitude corrections and ensure accurate true altitude during the approach and at the runway. Without that data, obstacle clearance and required landing performance cannot be assured, so landing is not permitted. The other options would imply waivers or permissions that don’t meet safety requirements, or apply to departing rather than landing.
