35
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.
36
Does the marginal conditions rule apply to weather conditions at ETA or +/- 1 hour of ETA?
ETA
37
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.
38
Does exemption 3585 apply to the weather conditions ETA or +/-1 hour of ETA?
ETA
The main body of such forecasts must, however, indicate that the weather will be at or above authorized weather minimums for ETA.
39
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.
40
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.
41
What must be added to a dispatch release for a flight operating under exemption 3585?
For the flights that this exemption is applied, the dispatcher will note in the remarks section of the release "dispatch under exemption 3585 crew will monitor SELCAL." If SELCAL is inoperative, crew will monitor company frequencies.

How does the Mesa Airlines Inc. define marginal weather conditions?
Marginal weather: Mesa Airlines Incorporated defines marginal as 500 ft + 1 mile above the lowest suitable landing minimums for the airport.
43
When is a second alternate required under the marginal conditional rule?
When the weather conditions forecast for the destination and first alternate airport are marginal, a second alternate will be designated in the dispatch release.
44
When must a second alternate be filed?
A second alternate must be filed when either the destination airport or the first alternate airport TAF contains conditional phrases indicating whether below are authorized weather minimums.
