if the planned destination aerodrome is an isolated destination aerodrome.

Exception—weather and other conditions etc.
 (3) It is an exception to the requirement in subsection (1) if all of the following requirements, at the estimated time of use of the planned destination aerodrome, are met in relation to the aerodrome:
 (a) the cloud ceiling requirements in subsection (5);
 (b) the visibility requirements in subsection (6);
 (c) the lighting requirements in subsection (7);
 (d) for a planned destination aerodrome that is not located in Australian territory—separate runways are usable at the aerodrome, with at least one runway having an operational authorised instrument approach procedure.
Note: Example for paragraph (3)(d): separate runways at the same aerodrome would be usable if they are configured in such a way that if one runway were closed, an operation to another runway is operationally available to the aeroplane.

Exception—ICAO landing forecasts or TAF3s
 (4) It is an exception to the requirement in subsection (1) if the aeroplane, during the flight, is within 60 minutes of flight time to the aerodrome of intended landing, and the requirements in section 4.09 (about ICAO landing forecasts or a forecast that is a TAF3) are met.

Cloud ceiling requirements
 (5) For paragraph (3)(a), the cloud ceiling requirements are that the authorised weather forecast, in relation to the planned destination aerodrome at the estimated time of use, indicates that the cloud ceiling will be greater than:
 (a) 1 000 ft above the landing minima determined by the operator under regulation 121.185 of CASR for the instrument approach procedure likely to be used on arrival at the aerodrome; or
 (b) 500 ft above the minimum altitude for a circling manoeuvre for the instrument approach procedure likely to be used on arrival at the aerodrome, if both of the following apply:
 (i) a straight-in approach using an authorised instrument approach procedure to the most into‑wind runway cannot be performed;
 (ii) a circling manoeuvre mentioned in the authorised instrument approach procedure must be performed instead.

Visibility
 (6) For paragraph (3)(b), the visibility requirements are that the authorised weather forecast, in relation to the aerodrome of intended landing at the estimated time of use indicates that the visibility will be the greater of:
 (a) 5 km; and
 (b) if:
 (i) it is likely that an instrument approach procedure will be used on arrival at the aerodrome; and
 (ii) the instrument approach procedure is an authorised instrument approach procedure;
  at least 2 km greater than the landing minima determined by the operator under regulation 121.185 of CASR for the instrument approach procedure.

Lighting requirements
 (7) For paragraph (3)(c), the lighting requirements are that, in the case where the estimated time of use of the aerodrome includes
