Back 5

"a. Cloud – more than SCT below HAA or HAT (as published) plus 500ft for the approach procedure where only one aid is required or in the case where two aids are required, more than SCT below the HAA or HAT (as published) plus 500ft for the approach procedure with the second lowest MDA/DH that is available to the aircraft type.
b. Visibility – less than the distance for the approach procedure obtained by adding 2000m to the visibility value (as published) where only one aid is required or where two aids are required, by adding 2000m to the second lowest visibility that is available to the aircraft type.
c. Visibility – greater than the alternate minimum, but the forecast is endorsed with a percentage probability of fog, mist, dust or any other phenomenon restricting visibility below the alternate minimum;
or
d. Wind – a crosswind or downwind component more than the maximum for the aircraft.

For aerodromes without an instrument approach procedure, the alternate minima is the lowest safe altitude for the final route segment plus 500ft and a visibility of 8km.
