The Australian Aviation Theory Forum is a place for student pilots to ask questions, discuss CASA theory exams and share knowledge about RPL/PPL, CPL, IREX and recreational aviation study.
With question 5 in question set 5 in part 6 of the IREX book, I think the answer has been updated. According to the current ERSA Cunnamulla has standby power making it a suitable alternate.
Anyone else stuck on this question?
Even though Cunnamulla has standby power, it is not suitable as an alternate because it is PAL operated and there is no responsible person available to either lay a flare path or switch on the lighting manually.

sorry i just checked and I meant set 6 question 5.
I also checked and the aircraft wasn't OZY and it only had one VHF, meaning it would require 30 mins holding fuel over Cunnamulla. I must have assumed it was OZY.
Thanks for your time bob,
Will
