The term RVR implies that a runway is available and an RVR measurement system is in place. Unfortunately, neither are available at most private HLSs.

The commander is therefore left to decide whether the departure can be safely made, all factors considered. The commander of a private flight, as this was, has the option of not using the performance class departure profiles.
