requirement of calling 'airborne' during low vis? NO!!!!! unless you wanna be greeted with 'congratulations' by ATC
I fly for a large UK regional airline and there are plenty of airfields where ATC request you call airborne with tower during low viz.
Infact with my low ATC knowledge, I thought this was standard practice so the tower could confirm runway occupancy when they cant see the tarmac

I think the word 'standard' should be removed for the aviation dictionary!
