CL65 CREW HAD CONFLICTING TKOF MINIMUMS LISTED IN THE COMPANY OPS MANUAL. TKOF WAS BELOW TKOF MINIMUMS.

Narrative

FAR ATIS RECEIVED AT THE GATE PRIOR TO TAXI WAS: WIND 280 DEGS/3 KTS; 5 SM VISIBILITY; SKY CLR; TEMP 18 DEGS/DEWPOINT 17 DEGS; ALTIMETER 30.00. ON TAXI TO RWY GND CTL RPTED THE RVR AT 5000 FT. TWR CTL CLRED US INTO POS AND HOLD. AS WE TAXIED INTO POS TWR CTL THEN RPTED RVR AT 1600 FT. AS WE STOPPED IN POS ON THE RWY TWR CTL RPTED RVR AT 1200 FT AND ASKED IF WE COULD GO. WE RESPONDED THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK IT UP. HAVING THE 'GO' MINDSET ONCE CLRED INTO POS AND HOLD ON THE RWY AND SEEING IN THE FOM (FLT OPS MANUAL) 'TKOF MINIMUMS LOWER THAN RVR 1200 FT...ARE ONLY AUTH...UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS: A) THE RWY IS EQUIPPED WITH OPERATIVE CTRLINE LIGHTS...' THIS LED US TO BELIEVE THAT WE MET THE RVR REQUIREMENTS FOR TKOF ON A RWY NOT EQUIPPED WITH CTRLINE LIGHTS. AFTER FURTHER REVIEW OF OUR OPS SPECS REVEALED THAT 1600 FT RVR WAS REQUIRED; AND THAT THE FOM SECTION ON 'TKOF MINIMUMS-RVR' DID NOT REFLECT THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CTRLINE LIGHTS. A 'MANUAL CHANGE REQUEST FORM' HAS BEEN SUBMITTED TO OUR FLT DEPT TO HAVE THE FOM AGREE WITH THE OPS SPECS. ALTHOUGH BRIEFLY CONSIDERED; THE REQUIREMENT FOR A TKOF ALTERNATE WAS COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN IN OUR DISCUSSION OF TKOF MINIMUMS.
