Q

Explain the purpose of exemption 3585.

A

Allows a flight to be dispatched to a destination airport and or alternate airport when TAF for either one or both of those airports indicate, by the use of conditional phrases in the remarks section of such reports, that the weather could be below authorized weather minimums at the ETA. The main body of such forecast must, however, indicate that the weather will be at/or above authorized weather minimums for ETA.
