aerodrome that is:
(a) not served by an IAP; or
(b) is served by 1 or more IAPs none of which the pilot in command is able to conduct.
       (2) For a VFR flight by night, the pilot in command must nominate a destination alternate aerodrome that is within 1 hour's flight time of the planned destination aerodrome:
(a) unless:
 (i) the planned destination aerodrome is served by a ground-based radio navigation aid; and
 (ii) the aircraft is fitted with the appropriate radio navigation system capable of using the aid; and
 (iii) the pilot in command is competent in using the aid; or
(b) unless:
 (i) the aircraft is fitted with an approved GNSS; and
 (ii) the pilot in command is competent in using the GNSS.
       (3) If aircraft navigation is to be conducted using a GNSS receiver certified only to (E)TSO C-129, navigation to a destination alternate aerodrome must be planned using a navigation system other than GNSS.

8.06 Destination alternate aerodromes — aerodrome lighting
       (1) If a flight is planned to land at night at an aerodrome that only has portable runway lighting, the pilot in command of an aircraft must nominate a destination alternate aerodrome unless reliable arrangements have been made for a qualified and responsible person to:
(a) attend the aerodrome during the period beginning at least 30 minutes before the ETA, and ending on completion of the aircraft's landing and taxiing (the landing period); and
(b) display the portable lighting.
       (2) If a flight is planned to land at night at an aerodrome with electric runway lighting, but without standby power, the pilot in command must nominate a destination alternate aerodrome unless:
(a) portable runway lights are available; and
(b) reliable arrangements have been made for a qualified and responsible person to:
 (i) attend the aerodrome during the landing period; and
           (ii) display the portable lighting in the event of a failure of the electric runway lighting.
       (3) If a flight is planned to land at night at an aerodrome with PAL, the pilot in command must nominate a destination alternate aerodrome unless reliable arrangements have been made for a qualified and responsible person to:
(a) attend the aerodrome during the landing period; and
(b) manually switch on the runway lighting in the event of a failure of the PAL.
       (4) The pilot in command of an aircraft fitted with a single VHF radiocommunication system may only nominate an aerodrome with PAL as a destination alternate aerodrome if:
(a) reliable arrangements have been made for a qualified and responsible person to be in attendance to manually switch on the aerodrome lighting; and
(b) the aircraft has:
 (i) a HF radiocommunication system; and
 (ii) 30 minutes
