What are the takeoff minimums regulations?

Standard takeoff minima are one statute mile for aircraft having two engines or less and one-half statute mile for aircraft having more than two engines. Specified ceiling and visibility minima will allow visual avoidance of obstacles during the initial climb at the standard climb gradient.

The lowest routinely used takeoff visibility minimum is 600 feet RVR, which is about one-tenth of a mile. Pretty low. It's the lowest visibility typically used in simulator training for taxi and takeoff practice.

The Significance of Speed in respect of the decision to reject a take off. Most aircraft manufacturers specify an airspeed - usually 80 knots or 100 knots - which defines the transition between the low speed and the high speed part of a takeoff roll and represents a change in the expected use of a stop call.

If you're in Class E or G above 10,000ftMSL then you need a minimum of 5sm visibility and must remain 1sm horizontal, 1,000ft above, and 1,000ft below the clouds. If you are in Class G during the day and are below 1,200ft AGL then all you need is 1sm visibility and you need to remain clear of clouds.
