This is becoming more complex by each post.

Flying in G class airspace: above 3,000ft vis 8 km, horz 1500m from cloud, 1,000 ft vert from cloud. Off you go. One also needs a horizon (unless IMC/IR).

Of course consideration should be given to the destination MET, TAF and to making a cloud free climb and descent (unless IMC/IR).

Then contingency planning: 1. engine failure emergency - need some blue patches to make descent 2. cloud becomes OVC below - this is more serious - is the TAF reliable or should one turn round.

Original poster stated some Cu and was looking for some guidance per go/no-go. Trust this helps.
