Table 9: Alternate (Destination and Enroute) Aerodrome Operating Minima for
Dispatch

Approach facility Ceiling DA/H or MDA/H RVR

configuration

For airports supporting Authorized DA/H or DA/H Authorized visibility plus

one approach and landing plus an increment of 400 ft an increment of 1 500 m
operation.

For airports supporting at Authorized DA/H or Authorized visibility plus

least two approach and MDA/H plus an increment an increment of 800 m
landing operations, each of 200 ft
providing a straight-in
approach and landing
operation to different,
suitable runways

For airports with a Cat II procedures, a ceiling Cat II, a visibility of at least
published Cat II or Cat III of at least 300 ft, or for Cat RVR 1 200 m or, for Cat
approach and landing III procedures, a ceiling of III, a visibility of at least
operation, and at least two at least 200 ft RVR 550 m
approach and landing
operations, each providing
a straight-in approach and
landing operation to
different, suitable runways

Note 1 - Conditional forecast elements need not be considered, except that a

PROB40 or TEMPO condition below the lowest applicable planning minima
must be taken into account

Note 2 – When determining the usability of an IAP, wind plus gust forecast
must be within operating limits, including reduced visibility limits, and should
be within the aeroplane maximum approved crosswind value.

Note 3 – When dispatching under the provisions of MEL, those MEL

limitiations affecting instrument approach minima must be considered in
determining alternate minima.

Note 4 – For airports supporting at least two approach and landing operations
each providing a straight-in approach and landing operation to different
suitable runways, the term “suitable runways” will account for factors such as
crosswind/tailwind components, LDA, runway surface that shall be within
aircraft limitations for both runways. In this case, the two approach and
landing operations shall be based on separate navigation/approach aids.
