may dispatch or take off an
airplane
unless it has enough fuel -
(a) To fly to the
airport
to which it is dispatched;
(b) Thereafter, to fly to and land at the most distant
alternate airport
(where required) for the
airport
to which dispatched; and
(c) Thereafter, to fly for 45 minutes at normal cruising fuel consumption or, for certificate holders who are authorized to conduct day
