Q

When is a single alternate required,

When is two alternates required

A

If destination only has one non ground based approach need and alternate

One alternate: +/- 1 hour of ETA, Weather below MDA/Da +1000 vis below 5000m or below min vis+2000m

Two alternates: when weather at alternate is less than the requirements above, that meet the alternate aerodrome criteria
