(a) A certificate holder may specify any airport authorized for the type of airplane as a destination for the purpose of original release.
(b) No person may allow a flight to continue to an airport to which it has been released unless the weather conditions at an alternate airport that was specified in the flight release are forecast to be at or above the alternate minimums specified in the operations specifications for that airport at the time the airplane would arrive at the alternate airport.
