If an operator uses EFVS as an operational credit, can the destination alternate aerodrome be selected if it only has an EFVS-dependent approach, but the destination aerodrome has a non-EFVS approach?

Yes, because the requirement is that an approach procedure that does not rely on the same 'operational credit' (EFVS) is available either at the destination alternate aerodrome or at the destination aerodrome.

Q: What should an operator do to comply with CAT.OP.MPA.182(f) when intending to use PBN, regarding the selection of a destination alternate aerodrome?

The operator should select an aerodrome as destination alternate aerodrome only if an instrument approach procedure that does not rely on a GNSS is available either at that aerodrome or at the destination aerodrome.

Q: Under AMC1 CAT.OP.MPA.182(f), what condition must be met for a destination alternate aerodrome when the operator plans to use operational credits like EFVS or SA CAT I?

The operator should select an aerodrome as destination alternate aerodrome only if an approach procedure that does not rely on the same 'operational credit' is available either at that aerodrome or at the destination aerodrome.

Q: For PBN operations, is it acceptable to select a destination alternate aerodrome that only has a GNSS-based approach, if the destination aerodrome itself has a non-GNSS approach?

Yes, because the requirement is that an instrument approach procedure that does not rely on a GNSS is available either at the destination alternate aerodrome or at the destination aerodrome.

BASIC FUEL SCHEME — DESTINATION AERODROMES — PBN OPERATIONS

(a) To comply with point CAT.OP.MPA.182(f), when the operator intends to use PBN, the operator should select an aerodrome as destination alternate aerodrome only if an instrument approach procedure that does not rely on a GNSS is available either at that aerodrome or at the destination aerodrome.

BASIC FUEL SCHEME — DESTINATION AERODROMES — OPERATIONAL CREDITS

(b) To comply with point CAT.OP.MPA.182(f), when the operator intends to use ‘operational credits’ (e.g. EFVS, SA CAT I, etc.), the operator should select an aerodrome as destination alternate aerodrome only if an approach procedure that does not rely on the same ‘operational credit’ is available either at that aerodrome or at the destination aerodrome.
