kissmysquirrel,
I knew someone would say what you just have, I NEVER said it was sensible, I said what is LEGAL !
in the past when I have been responsible for releasing a helicopter to a PPL self fly hirer, the starting point might have been 1500ft, 5k, <15kts for a rookie, changing to 1000ft, 3k, <25kts for a more experienced person for example.
this discussion was just about what is possible, in my experience PPL owners sometimes fly in dreadful weather which could no way be described as sensible.
regards
CF
