No person may designate an alternate airport unless the weather reports or forecasts, or any combination of them, indicate that the weather conditions will be at or above authorized alternate airport landing minimums for that airport at the estimated time of arrival.

OpSpecs C055

a. The certificate holder is authorized to derive alternate airport weather minimums from table 1 below, according to the limitations and provisions of this operations specification

For Airports with at least one operational navigational facility providing a straight in nonprecision approach procedure, or CAT I precision approach, or, when applicable, a circling maneuver from an IAP

Ceiling - Add 400’ to MDA(H) or DA(H), as applicable

Visibility - Add 1SM or 1600 m to the landing minimum

For airports with at least 2 operational navigational facilities, each providing a straight-in approach procedure to different suitable runways

Ceiling - Add 200’ to higher DA(H) or MDA(H) of the two approaches used

Visibility - Add 1/2SM or 800 M to the higher authorized landing minimum of the two approaches used

b. Special Limitations and Provisions
1. The certificate holder must not use an alternate airport weather minimum other than any applicable minimum derived from table 1.
* The company must not designate an alternate airport unless the weather reports or forecasts indicate that the weather conditions will be t or above authoried alternate airport landing minimums for that airport at the estimated time of arrival*
* Alternate airport weather minimums may only be derived from the table in OpSpecs C055*
* Jeppesen Takeoff Minimums“FOR FILING AS AN ALTERNATE”section may include restrictions that limit use of one or more approaches or the airport entirely as an alternate airport under certain times or conditions (e.g., “Authorized Only When Twr Operating”or “Authorized Only When Local Weather Available”).
