event may the landing minimums be
less than a 300-foot ceiling and 1 mile
of visibility.

(b) The 100 hours of pilot-in-command

experience required by paragraph (a)
may be reduced (not to exceed 50 per-
cent) by substituting one landing in op-
erations under this part in the type of
airplane for 1 required hour of pilot-in-
command experience if the pilot has at
least 100 hours as pilot in command of
another type airplane in operations
under this part.

§ 125.381 Takeoff and landing weather

minimums: IFR.

(a) Regardless of any clearance from

ATC, if the reported weather condi-
tions are less than that specified in the
certificate holder’s operations speci-
fications, no pilot may—

(1) Take off an airplane under IFR; or
(2) Except as provided in paragraphs

(b) Except as provided in paragraphs

(c) and (d) of this section, no pilot may
execute an instrument approach proce-
dure if the latest reported visibility is
less than the landing minimums speci-
fied in the certificate holder’s oper-
ations specifications.

ment approach procedure based on a
weather report that indicates that the
specified visibility minimums exist and
subsequently receives another weather
report that indicates that conditions
are below the minimum requirements,
may continue the approach only if ei-
ther the requirements of § 91.176 of this
chapter, or the following conditions are
met—

(1) The later weather report is re-

ceived when the airplane is in one of
the following approach phases:

(i) The airplane is on a ILS approach

and has passed the final approach fix;

(ii) The airplane is on an ASR or

PAR final approach and has been
turned over to the final approach con-
troller; or

(iii) The airplane is on a nonprecision

final approach and the airplane—

(A) Has passed the appropriate facil-

ity or final approach fix; or

(B) Where a final approach fix is not

specified, has completed the procedure
turn and is established inbound toward
the airport on the final approach
course within the distance prescribed
in the procedure; and

(2) The pilot in command finds, on

reaching the authorized MDA, or DA/
DH, that the actual weather conditions
are at or above the minimums pre-
scribed for the procedure being used.

(d) A pilot may execute an instru-

ment approach procedure, or continue
the approach, at an airport when the
visibility is reported to be less than the
visibility minimums prescribed for
that procedure if the pilot uses an op-
erable EFVS in accordance with § 91.176
of this chapter and the certificate hold-
er’s operations specifications for EFVS
operations, or for a holder of a part 125
letter of deviation authority, a letter
of authorization for the use of EFVS.

(1) The number of passengers;
(2) The total weight of the loaded air-

plane;

(3) The maximum allowable takeoff

and landing weights for that flight;

(4) The center of gravity limits;
(5) The center of gravity of the load-

ed airplane, except that the actual cen-
ter of gravity need not be computed if
the airplane is loaded according to a
loading schedule or other approved
method that ensures that the center of
gravity of the loaded airplane is within

approved limits. In those cases, an
entry shall be made on the manifest in-
dicating that the center of gravity is
within limits according to a loading
