So, let's see if I understand this correctly...
According to AIM 1-2-1, assuming that an IAP is required at the alternate, I can't use said airport as my alternate if...
Additionally, these requirements are not applicable if the GPS is WAAS capable.
Now, if I fly my non-WAAS capable airplane to my original destination and find myself heading to the alternate, I can fly a GPS approach and/or an approach requiring equipment not installed (e.g. ADF or DME) as long as the GPS systems are fully operational (no RAIM warnings, etc.).
Is all of this correct?

- it only has GPS approaches OR
- the non-GPS approaches require equipment that is not installed (e.g. ADF, DME, etc.) as I can't plan to use GPS in lieu of these items at my alternate
