runway heading for a Category C or Category D aircraft, in accordance with the design criteria in ICAO Doc 8618 PAN OPS Vol II.
Note 2   Instrument approach procedures designed with final approach tracks outside of the visible approach lighting splay, while potentially still a straight-in approach, do not have minimum visibility based on availability of an approach lighting system, even if installed.
Note 3   Rotorcraft not operating to specific Category H approaches are assumed to be Category A operations.

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.
Note   If engine failure or loss of pressurisation occurs during a take-off, and the meteorological conditions necessitate flight to another aerodrome, the departure aerodrome would be the critical point for calculations of additional fuel. See also the definition of additional fuel in subsection 1.07 (6) and its application in section 19.04.

15.04 Take-off minima for low-visibility operations
        The take-off minima for a low-visibility operation at an aerodrome are the take-off minima stated in an approval granted for paragraph 91.315 (1) (b).

15.05 Take-off minima for qualifying multi-engine aeroplanes
       (1) The take-off minima mentioned in this section apply to a take-off that:
(a) is not a low-visibility take-off; and
(b) is conducted using a qualifying multi-engine aeroplane.
       (2) The take-off minima are:
(a) visibility of:
           (i) 800 m, or
           (ii) 550 m, but only if:
            (A) the runway has illuminated edge lighting at spacing intervals not exceeding 60 m; and
            (B) the runway has centreline lighting or centreline markings; and
            (C) all lighting mentioned in sub-subparagraphs (A) and (B) is supported by a secondary power supply with a switchover capability of 1 second or less; and
            (D) if the aerodrome is a non-controlled aerodrome or a controlled aerodrome where ATC is not in operation — the take-off is conducted by day and the aerodrome is one at which the carriage of radio is mandatory.

15.06 Take-off minima for other aeroplanes
       (1) The take-off minima mentioned in this section apply to a take-off that:
(a) is not a low-visibility take-off; and
(b) is not conducted using a qualifying multi-engine aeroplane.
       (2) The take-off minima are:
(a) a cloud ceiling of 300 ft; and
(b) visibility of 2 000
