IR take off minima
Anyone know what the take off minima(RVR and cloud base) is for a pilot with an IR. Let's say a non public transport flight on a single crew aircraft? eg PA23
If anyone knows the official reference where one could find such info. please let me know as I have been trying to find it all day long and I got fed up looking.

Capt D,
I believe the info you are looking is :
For non public transport single engine (irrespective of pilot qualification or licence) is 600ft cloud base for take off and 1800m RVR. I think the minimum cloud ceiling for public transport single engine is 1000ft.
Any other offers ???

In the US N reg Part 91 you can legally take off on a private flight 0-0.
Not that anyone ever does the prevailing attitude is thanks for allowing us but that would be a bad idea. The airlines or infact anyone carrying people for hire have minimums set out in the revlevant FAR chapter.

RVR,
Of course u r correcet RVR with the multi engine criteria, but that is only one of them ! The rest of the regs regarding multi engine are;
(1) For a multi engine aircraft with no engine out climb capability the minima is 600ft cloud and 1800m RVR.. .(2) For a multi engine aircraft with a climbout capability of less than 150ft per minute one engine out) the minima is 600ft cloud and 1500ft RVR.. .(3) For a multi engine aircraft exceeding 150ft/min climb (one engine out) the minima are 300ft cloud and 800m RVR.
The above applies to aircraft under 5700kg.
