GM3 NCC.OP.110 Aerodrome operating minima - general

• ED Decision 2013/021/R found in: Air Operations (965/2012) Part-ARO Part-ORO Part-CAT Part-SPA Part-NCC Part-NCO Part-SPO (Feb 2025)

GM3 NCC.OP.110 Aerodrome operating minima – general ED Decision 2013/021/R TAKE-OFF MINIMA — HELICOPTERS To ensure sufficient control of the helicopter in IMC, the speed, before entering in IMC, should be above the minimum authorised speed in IMC, Vmini. This is a limitation in the AFM. Therefore, the lowest speed before entering in IMC is the highest of Vtoss (take-off safety speed) and Vmini. As example, Vtoss is 45 kt and Vmini 60 kt. In that case, the take–off minima have to include the distance to accelerate to 60 kt. The take-off distance should be increased accordingly.
