Can you descend below minimum on a Mayday legally?

Many are pilots few are commanders

The ability to determine when to descend below a published minimum in order to bring a flight to a safe conclusion is what singles out commanders from pilots. Any good airline command course will both check and develop this essential management skill.

So if the engine has failed, how the heck are you going to STAY above minima??

In an emergency, do whatever you think is necessary, but you will have to justify it to Captain Jobsworth of the CAA afterwards.
