Bump with a related question: I remember a requirement for a destination airport to have multiple usable runways in addition to all other requirement to not file an alternate. Is this a Rule? Who's rule and where can I find it?

Found this-

Destination alternate

At least one destination alternate aerodrome must be designated and specified in the both operational and ATS flight plans if a flight under IFR is going to be made unless one of the following applies:

after taking all relevant factors into account, it is reasonably certain that VMC will prevail for the approach and landing
there is more than one independently useable runway is available which can be expected to be useable at the ETA and at least one of those runways has an instrument approach procedure
the aerodrome is isolated, in which case a destination alternate is not required and instead additional fuel must be carried. a Point of No Return (PNR) must be determined and this must not be passed unless an assessment of the prevailing weather, traffic and other operational conditions indicates that a safe landing can be achieved at the ETA.
