604.49 Despite paragraph 602.126(1)(b), (a) a pilot-in-command may conduct a take-off in an aircraft operated by a private operator when the reported RVR is at least 1,200 feet or the reported ground visibility is at least one quarter of a statute mile if (i) the private operator is authorized to do so under a special authorization, (ii) the aircraft is operated by at least two flight crew members, (iii) the flight plan filed for the flight specifies a take-off alternate aerodrome that (A) in the case of a twin-engined aircraft, is within the distance that can be flown in 60 minutes at normal cruising speed, or (B) in the case of an aircraft with three or more engines, is within the distance that can be flown in 120 minutes at normal cruising speed, (iv) the pilot-in-command and, if the operations manual provides that the second-in-command may conduct the take-off, the second-in-command have received the following training for which the validity period has not expired: (A) take-off alternate aerodrome requirements, (B) pilot-in-command experience requirements, (C) pilot-in-command responsibility for visibility and obstacle clearance requirements, and (D) minimum aircraft and runway equipment requirements, (v) the pilot-in-command (A) identifies any obstructions that may be in the take-off path, (B) determines — using the aircraft performance data and limitations specified in the aircraft flight manual — that the aircraft is, with the critical engine inoperative, able to (I) safely clear those obstructions, and (II) maintain at least the minimum enroute altitude to the take-off alternate aerodrome, and (C) verifies that the RVR is at least 1,200 feet or the ground visibility is at least one quarter of a statute mile, (vi) the runway is equipped with high-intensity runway lights, or runway centre line lights, that are serviceable and functioning and that are visible to the pilot throughout the take-off run, or with runway centre line markings that are visible to the pilot throughout the take-off run, (vii) the pilot-in-command and second-in-command attitude indicators provide a clear depiction of total aircraft attitude that includes the incorporation of pitch attitude index lines in appropriate increments up to 15° above and 15° below the reference line, (viii) failure warning systems to immediately detect failures and malfunctions in attitude indicators, directional gyros and horizontal situation indicators are operative, and (ix) the pilot-in-command and, if the operations manual provides that the second-in-command may conduct the take-off, the second-in-command have demonstrated to the private operator the ability to operate the aircraft in accordance with this paragraph; and (b) a pilot-in-command may conduct a take-off in an aircraft operated by a private operator when the reported RVR is at least 600 feet if (i) the private operator is authorized to do so under a special authorization, (ii) the aircraft is operated by at least two flight crew members, (iii) the flight plan filed for the flight specifies a take-off alternate aerodrome that (A) in the case of a twin-engined aircraft, is within the distance that can be flown in 60 minutes at normal cruising speed, or (B) in the case of an aircraft with three or more engines, is within the distance that can be flown in 120 minutes at normal cruising speed, (iv) the pilot-in-command and, if the operations manual provides that the second-in-command may conduct the take-off, the second-in-command have received the following training for which the validity period has not expired: (A) ground training in (I) take-off alternate aerodrome requirements, (II) pilot-in-command experience requirements, (III) pilot-in-command responsibility for visibility and obstacle clearance requirements, and (IV) minimum aircraft and runway equipment requirements, and (B) level C or D full-flight simulator training that includes (I) one completed take-off at an RVR of 600 feet, and (II) one rejected t
