Takeoff Alternate Legalities Question
I was asked this question by a Capt. who is studying for a mainline interview somewhere. The question was...what are the takeoff minimums for an aircraft certified for Cat IIIc taking off from an airport that is Cat IIIc compliant?
Argument 1: Takeoff mins are 0/0 because they can get back in because that is their lowest mins.
Argument 2: Takeoff mins are the lowest of the Cat I procedures because more than likely if something breaks to warrant an airport return...they probably aren't in a configuration that allows Cat III approaches. (ie Busting an engine on takeoff)
Anyone know that actual truth to this? If someone could provide a resource for this information (even company manuals - not necessarily FAR's) that would be awesome.
Happy thinkin'
