There are boxes for alternate in the form of WPs etc but the comments boxes do not encourage (or remind) the entry of details in the same way as the Dep and Arr boxes do; eg tides, VHF channels, main port this (secondary) alternate is based on etc. If you have to divert, it's highly possible things are going pear shaped, you don't want to also have to dig out the pilot book to get this info while on the back foot. Just a thought... Nice template, however it would (in my view) be better if it had similar boxes as the Dep and Arr ones for the most likely alternate(s).

Just a thought…
