Except that every single 135 or 121 operator I have ever seen uses lower than standard takeoff mins as specified in their operations specifications.

I don't know who uses standard takeoff mins. Nobody as far as I can tell.

I believe I referenced that in the last part of my post "If the back of the plate states a a rvr or vis. requirement, then you are held to that standard as long as you can meet the climb criteria and have the required the ground equip (lights, markings, etc.). If you cannot meet the climb criteria, than you have to reference the other box."

My intention was to avoid referencing company ops specs. Didn't want to muddy up a confusing topic. But obviously if a company has approval to do something in their ops specs, than the far's become secondary to that. Without special approval, one can never take off with mins lower than what is on the back of the plate.
