I entirely agree, but have found the more specific one can be, the better the pax understands and co-operates.

Agreed, the pax need to be educated re safety standards - easier said than done.

The problem here is if you say it should be VFR minima for departure and pax says "why? we've been doing this for years" - it's best if you can be more specific, otherwise it can be seen as just a difference of opinions ..

For info - the table you refer to in (h) which is (table 6) is not for departure.

1.430 a.3.(iv) "Table 6 below, for converting reported meteorological visibility to RVR, must not be used for calculating take-off minima."

I can second that .. too many owners just want the trip completed ....
