For T/O minimums with Standard Instrument Rating, Non-Precision T/O minimums must be ___-__ and for Precision must be ___-__ or _____' RVR

For T/O minimums with Standard Instrument Rating, Non-Precision T/O minimums must be ___-__ and for Precision must be ___-__ or _____' RVR

• A. 300-1, 200-1/2, 2400'
• B. 200-1, 100-1/2, 1800'
• C. 350-1, 250-1/2, 2600'
• D. 400-1, 300-1/2, 3200'

Answer: (A)

Takeoff minimums depend on whether the aircraft is using a non-precision or a precision instrument approach. With a Standard Instrument Rating, non-precision takeoff minimums require higher limits, while precision takeoff minimums can be lower because you have vertical guidance during the takeoff.

The correct pattern shows non-precision minimums as 300 feet of ceiling with 1 mile of visibility, and precision minimums can be expressed as either 200 feet of ceiling with 1/2 mile of visibility, or the same requirement stated as an RVR value of 2400 feet. In other words, a precision takeoff can be indicated either as 200-1/2 or as 2400' RVR, giving the pilot an equivalent way to meet the minimum visibility for departure.
