RVR is runway specific. The 2400 at the runway you landed on doesn't count for the opposite end. That one you had to use prevailing vis of 1/8 of a mile and was below mins, so you were right to not use it. The 14 knot tailwind would be illegal in the transport catagory jets I've flown. You'd have to check the limitations for your aircraft.

I guess your ops specs could be different, I'm just going off the top of my head. Where's Seagull or Midlife when you need them.

Also, I believe part 91 still has to observe landing minimums to land, though you can shoot the aproach regardless of the weather, unlike 135/121. There are no takeoff mins, though, under 91. You can go zero/zero.

Ceiling isn't an issue except in forcasts or very rare cases where it's mentioned on the approach chart.
