Narrative:

As captain of flight from avl to bna on sep/fri/91, I misinterp the takeoff data on the airport approach plate and was not aware that RVV was controling. I elected to depart using the prevailing visibility which was 1/4 mi. I have since learned that RVV is controling and this occurrence will not happen again.
