An airport may not be qualified for alternate use if

A

the airport has AWOS-3 weather reporting.

B

the airport is located next to a restricted or prohibited area.

C

the NAVAIDS used for the final approach are unmonitored.✓ Correct Answer

Explanation

Approach charts may show alternate minimums as 'NA' because of unmonitored navigation facilities used for the approach or the absence of weather reporting, which disqualifies the airport as an alternate for that procedure. Having AWOS-3 supports alternate use, and nearby special use airspace is not a disqualifier.
