When applying the marginal conditions rule to your alternate airport, do you add 500 feet +1 mile to the derived alternate minimums or to the actual approach minimums?
The 500 feet + 1 mile (500-1) visibility are added to the lowest suitable landing minimums for the airport (Destination or Alternate) to be used at the ETA at that airport.
Does the marginal conditions rule apply to weather conditions at ETA or +/- 1 hour of ETA?
ETA
Explain the purpose of exemption 3585.
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.
Does exemption 3585 apply to the weather conditions ETA or +/-1 hour of ETA?
ETA

What is the lowest weather allowable in the remarks section of the forecast for the destination?
For the destination airport, that TAF weather conditions shall not be less than one half of the lowest weather minimums VISIBILITY only value, established for the instrument approach procedure expected to be used.
What is the lowest weather allowable in the remarks section of the forecast for the first alternate?
For the first alternate airport, TAF weather conditions shall not be less than one half of the weather minimums ceiling AND visibility values specified in the Mesa airlines OPERATIONS SPECIFICATIONS for that airport.
What must be added to a dispatch release for a flight operating under exemption 3585?
