d. Nav lights must operate

Question 10

(CNAF 5.3.4.1) What are your takeoff mins?

Answer 10

Answer 13

1/2; Helos required vis min may be reduced to 1/2 the pub vis min for CAT A(so you need to be below 90KIAS), but in no case NLT 1/4 sm

Question 14

Your coming back over the hill with you and your best bud. Weather is calling below mins; Can you still shoot an approach?

Answer 14

Yes; When weather is at or below published mins for the approach to be conducted, an approach shall not be commenced in multipiloted a/c unless it has the cabaility to proceed to a suitable alternate in the event of a missed approach.
