This is for all those so called professional pilots that doubt my professionalism


257 Aerodrome meteorological minima
(1) CASA may, in respect of an aircraft operation, determine the
meteorological minima for the landing or taking-off of an aircraft at an
aerodrome.
(2) A determination under subregulation (1) must be published in AIP or
NOTAMS.
(3) If an element of the meteorological minima for the take-off of an
aircraft at an aerodrome is less than that determined for the aircraft
operation at the aerodrome, the aircraft must not take-off from that
aerodrome.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.
(4) If an element of the meteorological minima for the landing of an
aircraft at an aerodrome is less than that determined for the aircraft
operation at the aerodrome, the aircraft must not land at that
aerodrome.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.
(4A) An offence against subregulation (3) or (4) is an offence of strict
liability.
Note For strict liability, see section 6.1 of the Criminal Code
(5) Subregulation (4) does not apply if an emergency arises that, in the
interests of safety, makes it necessary for an aircraft to land at an
aerodrome where the meteorological minima is less than that
determined for that aircraft operation at that aerodrome.
(6) This regulation does not prevent a pilot from:
(a) making an approach for the purpose of landing at an aerodrome;
or
(b) continuing to fly towards an aerodrome of intended landing
specified in the flight plan;
if the pilot believes, on reasonable grounds, that the meteorological
minima determined for that aerodrome will be at, or above, the
meteorological minima determined for the aerodrome at the time of
arrival at that aerodrome.
