Facilities available at suitable alternate                               Ceiling                                                                Visibility

8 Lower than standard EDTO alternate aerodrome planning minima

       CASA may approve lower EDTO en route alternate aerodrome planning minima than those set out in the Table in clause 7 if the aerodrome permits Category II or III precision approach and landing operations.
