Mind you, they have a different approach to some things than we do over here. I've seen a takeoff (for a visual flight) where there weren't many gaps visible through the fog banks (or grounded clouds if you prefer) with a cloud cover over the top at a couple of hundred feet. ("We only fly in weather like this when we know the route." And of course they were wearing floats so could put down on the sea any time they lost the picture or the engine.)
