and 1-2 mile respectively, but not to exceed the ceiling and visibility minimums for that airport when used as an
alternate airport, for each pilot in
command of a turbine-powered aircraft
who has not served at least 100 hours as
pilot in command in that type of aircraft.
(d) No person may take off an aircraft under IFR from an airport where
weather conditions are at or above
takeoff minimums but are below authorized IFR landing minimums unless
there is an alternate airport within one
hour-s flying time (at normal cruising
speed, in still air) of the airport of departure.
(e) Except as provided in Section 91.176 of
this chapter, each pilot making an IFR
takeoff or approach and landing at an
airport must comply with applicable
instrument approach procedures and
takeoff and landing weather minimums
prescribed by the authority having jurisdiction over the airport. In addition,
no pilot may take off at that airport
when the visibility is less than 600 feet,
unless otherwise authorized in the program manager-s management specifications for EFVS operations.

Section 91.1041 Aircraft proving and validation tests.
(a) No program manager may permit
the operation of an aircraft, other than
a turbojet aircraft, for which two pilots
are required by the type certification
requirements of this chapter for operations under VFR, if it has not previously proved such an aircraft in operations under this part in at least 25
hours of proving tests acceptable to the
Administrator including - 
(1) Five hours of night time, if night
flights are to be authorized;
(2) Five instrument approach procedures under simulated or actual conditions, if IFR flights are to be authorized; and
(3) Entry into a representative number of en route airports as determined
by the Administrator.
(b) No program manager may permit
the operation of a turbojet airplane if
it has not previously proved a turbojet

airplane in operations under this part
in at least 25 hours of proving tests acceptable to the Administrator including - 
(1) Five hours of night time, if night
flights are to be authorized;
(2) Five instrument approach procedures under simulated or actual conditions, if IFR flights are to be authorized; and
(3) Entry into a representative number of en route airports as determined
by the Administrator.
(c) No program manager may carry
passengers in an aircraft during proving tests, except those needed to make
the tests and those designated by the
Administrator to observe the tests.
However, pilot flight training may be
conducted during the proving tests.
(d) Validation testing is required to
determine that a program manager is
capable of conducting operations safely
and in compliance with applicable regulatory standards. Validation tests are
required for the following authorizations:
(1) The addition of an aircraft for
which two pilots are required for operations under VFR or a turbojet airplane, if that aircraft or an aircraft of
the same make or similar design has
not been previously proved or validated
in operations under this part.
(2) Operations outside U.S. airspace.
(3) Class II navigation authorizations.
(4) Special performance or operational authorizations.
(e) Validation tests must be accomplished by test methods acceptable to
the Administrator. Actual flights may
not be required when an applicant can
demonstrate competence and compliance with appropriate regulations
without conducting a flight.
(f) Proving tests and validation tests
may be conducted simultaneously
when appropriate.
(g) The Administrator may authorize
deviations from this section if the Administrator finds that special circumstances make full compliance with
this section unnecessary.
