until attaining the greater of Vyse or Vmin I.M.C.; or
           (ii) for helicopters operating in PC2 — until attaining the greater of Vyse or Vmin I.M.C., and passing the defined point after take-off; and
(b) visibility of:
 (i) 800 m; or
 (ii) 550 m, but only if the relevant runway or helicopter landing site has:
(A) illuminated edge lighting at spacing intervals not exceeding 60 m; and
(B) centreline lighting or centreline markings.
      3 It is a condition of the use of the minima in Part C that after entering instrument meteorological conditions the take-off must be conducted:
(a) either:
           (i) in accordance with published I.F.R. departure procedures; or
           (ii) if there are no published procedures — such that terrain clearance is assured; and
(b) in the event of an engine failure:
           (i) after encountering non‑visual conditions — terrain clearance is assured until reaching either the en-route LSALT or departure aerodrome MSA; and
           (ii) a return to land at the departure aerodrome is required — the meteorological conditions must be at, or above, instrument approach and landing minima for the aerodrome or such as to allow a visual approach; and
           (iii) a return to the departure aerodrome is not possible — the helicopter's performance and fuel availability must each be adequate to enable the helicopter to proceed to a suitable aerodrome, having regard to terrain, obstacles and route distance limitations.

Part D  Take-off minima for other I.F.R. helicopters
      1 Part D applies to an I.F.R. helicopter that is NOT a qualifying multi-engine helicopter within the meaning of Part C.
      2 The minima for the helicopter are:
(a) a ceiling of 500 ft; and
(b) visibility of 800 m.
      3 It is a condition of the use of the minima in Part D that after entering instrument meteorological conditions the take-off must be conducted either:
(a) in accordance with published I.F.R. departure procedures; or
(b) if there are no published procedures — such that terrain clearance is assured;
       until reaching either en route LSALT or departure aerodrome MSA and safe flight to a suitable destination or alternate, or a return to land can be made.
      4 It is a condition of the use of the minima in Part D that if a return to land at the departure aerodrome will be necessary in the event of an engine failure, that:
(a) the meteorological conditions must be at, or above, instrument approach and landing minima for the aerodrome or such as to allow a visual approach; or
(b) if a return to the departure aerodrome is not possible — the helicopter's performance and fuel availability must each be adequate to enable the helicopter to proceed to a suitable aerodrome, having regard to
