Question

May a pilot operating IFR under Part 135 begin an instrument approach procedure to an airport when the weather conditions are below authorized IFR landing minimums? a. Yes, with ATC clearance. b. No, never below minimums. c. Only during daylight hours. d. Yes, if the aircraft is equipped with advanced avionics.

Answer 1

b. No, never below minimums.

Pilots operating under Part 135 are not permitted to begin an instrument approach procedure to an airport when the weather conditions are below authorized IFR landing minimums. These minimums are defined by regulations and serve to ensure the safety of the flight operations. ATC clearance or advanced avionics capabilities do not override these regulations.
