Having experience instructing this maneuver with Part 135 operators, that statement easily leads to a wrong conclusion.
Also, consideration needs to be given to any items on the MEL that could have affected LOC/UIMC. Additionally, I haven’t seen any discussion here about VFR/SVFR in terms of the allowable limits per the Company’s Operation Manual. I can't imagine a Part 135 VFR-only operator using FAR minimums. I could be wrong.
