Part 91 MOS Chapter 15.02 – Definitions for this Chapter
Qualifying Multi-engine aircraft
An IFR multi-engine acft that is:
- a) operated by at least 2 pilots , or
(i) if powered by piston/turboprop and fitted with auto-feather - 1 pilot
(ii) if powered by turbojet engines - 1 pilot
and - b)in the event of engine failure - capable of maintain terrain clearence until reach minimum height for IFR flight
Part 91 MOS Chapter 15.03 – Take-off minima requirements
A pilot in command must not commence a take-off if, at the time of take-off:
- a) the meteorological conditions are less than the take-off minima for the aircraft; or
- b) the meteorological conditions that would exist if it were necessary to return to land at the departure aerodrome because of engine failure, are not:
(i) at or above the landing minima for any IAP that the pilot in
command is able to conduct at the aerodrome; or
(ii) such as to allow a visual approach for the return to land.
What is the standard take-off minima for single pilot operations?
2000m visibility and 300ft cloud base
You have descended to the published minima on an approach plate, and you did not become visual.
You are following the published missed approach procedure.
What minimum climb gradient and height above obstacles has the published missed approach climb gradient been based on?
2.5% and 100 feet
The weather at your departure aerodrome is below the minima for the most suitable instrument approach that you’re qualified to use but above the standard take-off minima for your category of operations.
You have calculated the aircraft will be able to maintain altitude but not climb on one engine in the event of an engine failure. What decision would you make and why?
More likely your decision will be to return to the departure aerodrome in the event of an engine failure in IMC. In that case,you cannot depart unless you know you will be able to land under the ambient conditions that you observe at take-off.
Therefore, your take-off minima will be the landing minima for the most suitable instrument approach that you are qualified to use - or a visual approach.
The weather is 100m in Fog, can you depart ?
No
The weather is starting to improve and its now 300m and 2km, can you depart?
No, should wait until weather is at least to the minima for the approach to the
departure aerodrome or meet all the other departure requirements
