212

Quite agree Vy usually most sensible climb speed but it could just be on some types that Vy is less than VMini - which is why I said VMini+, with IMC being focal issue. Sorry wasn't very clear...

Just catching up I'm afraid! You ask if I think the conditions were unsafe or just poorly executed. I suspect the conditions were pretty much as safe as they are for a dark rig departure with...

But surely Crab's point is quite right! DB - Crab's issue was what's legal and presumably the height AMSL of a rig departure is irrelevant to that point. I'm not saying it's wrong - far from it. As...

G550
