In the MOS 91 under landing minima it states that we should not take off unless we can return to land
3 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.

It is not specified that this applies only to qualifying aircraft.
We are then provided with take off minima “other” of 300’ and 2 km
Why are we then permitted to take off in Ozy if the minima are below the landing minima as per 3 (Ii)
There is no mention of engine failure after entering IMC in the It merely states “ if it were necessary to return to land “
Hoping to get some clarity on this
Thanks guys
Gerard

Please consider a Take off alternate. It used to be called a departure alternate. When we plan not to return to the Departure aerodrome.
See definitions in AC 91-15
