ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Making the go/no-go and continue/divert decisions, including: b. Personal weather minimums

Bottom line

Established personal minimums enable the pilot to make a no-go or divert decision rather than departing with a sense of unease regarding the outcome of a flight. Not adjust personal minimums to complete a specific flight.
