 (c) the planning minima requirements in subsection (4).
 (2) For paragraph (1)(a), the aerodrome requirements are as follows:
 (a) the aerodrome must be an adequate aerodrome;
 (b) the aerodrome must be listed in the operator's exposition as an aerodrome that may be selected as an EDTO en‑route alternate aerodrome for use in the event of a diversion during an EDTO flight;
 (d) on and from 2 December2025, if the EDTO flight has a maximum diversion time of 180 minutes or less:
 (i) the aerodrome must have rescue and firefighting services to at least Manual of Standards Part 139H category 4; or
 (ii) equivalent facilities available within 30 minutes' notice;
 (e) if the aerodrome is in Australian territory, the aerodrome must:

 (a) the lowest safe altitude; and
 (b) the obstacle clearance requirements in Chapter 9; and
 (c) the oxygen requirements in Division 9 of Chapter 11.

Planning minima requirements
 (4) For paragraph (1)(c), the planning minima requirements are as follows:
 (a) an aerodrome forecast, or ICAO landing forecast, for the aerodrome must be available at, and entirely encompass, the estimated time of use of the aerodrome by the aeroplane;
 (b) the operator and the pilot in command must have selected an authorised instrument approach procedure that may be used on arrival at the aerodrome:
 (i) taking account of the forecast weather conditions and the runway surface conditions at the estimated time of use; and
 (ii) that would ensure a safe one‑engine‑inoperative landing can be made, in accordance with the civil aviation legislation;
 (c) assuming the aeroplane arrives at the aerodrome with one engine inoperative, the aerodrome forecast, or ICAO landing forecast, indicate that relevant weather conditions, during any part of the estimated time of use at the aerodrome, are not forecast to exist below the cloud ceiling and visibility values determined in accordance with:
