Hi all,
Ok, right, should be crap instead of crab - and I'm not a native speaker ;-)
About minimums- in case of missions we just have a should - not a must....
So really no minimums- it's down to pilot/crew decision in case of a hot mission.
And thats ok, cause there are METARS which say I can - but drizzle makes NVG visibility so crap ;-) that it is just to risky to continue and there are days/nights with low cloud but fairly good visibility below, allowing flying undeneath the big powerlines (1.000 feet ones) (proper crossing at low speed close to pole for maximum clearence)
As I said, my aim is it, to live another day...
had my share of hairy moments and cause I don't know, how big my bag of fortune is, I'm willing to say no, if I see the holes in the cheese lining up...
I see also, that my personal limits (also depending on the crew) are quite low in comparison- but that could be influenced by the number of hours spend in ****ty weather.
And as I said, I'm not flying without a plan B anymore - that is knowing of landing places or the option (freezing level permitting) of an IFR pick up to return home.
(Yes - not within the rules with "IFR starts at .... feet) ;-)
