Q

What do you use to determine if you can dispatch to your destination?

Look at the approach that you will most likely use. Take the minimums and compare it to the TAF at your ETA. If the minimums for an ILS that you will use are 1/2 SM, then you can go if the TAF is showing 1/2 SM or more. Less than that and you can’t dispatch.

You must compare the current METAR to the TAF. The more restrictive weather is controlling.
