Departure minimum
Having posted a question about approach minimum for IMC rated pilots another area I have been confused by contradictory posting in the past is departure minimum for single engine operation. Now I am not referring to the RVR but the height at which you enter IMC. Again, I am interested in the difference between what is recommended and the legal requirement. It would also be interested to know what people actually feel comfortable with for single engine operation. I think the question is also a very practical one particularly for coastal departures where there are many occasions the aircraft will enter IMC very early after departure and quickly climb VMC on top with the base inland being considerably better.
