ON INSTRUMENTS

For safer takeoffs, be sure to find out if
your departure airport has any published
takeoff minimums or notams for the runway you'll be using. You know there are
published takeoff minimums if you see a
white "T"-the so-called "Trouble T"-
inside a black triangle in the briefing box
at the top of an FAA approach plate.
On Jeppesen plates, they're in the
Takeoff and IFR Departure Procedures
box on the back of an 11-1 approach plate
(the first of the approach plates for a
particular airport). Takeoff minimums-
expressed in terms of ceiling, visibility, or
both-are published in order to raise these
variables above the standard, one- or
one-and-a-half-mile visibility minimums
prescribed for Part 121/135 operations.
Additional obstacle information,
minimum climb rates, and any obstacle
departure procedures (ODPs) are also
listed in the "Takeoff Minimums and
(Obstacle) Departure Procedures" sections of an FAA approach chart book.
Sometimes certain departure procedures
are graphically printed on dedicated
departure procedure charts.
Now let's say that you've taken off and
have a problem as you're climbing out. By
using alternate takeoff minimums you'll
probably have a better chance of completing a return to the airport using an
instrument approach because the takeoff
minimums may be higher than any precision approach minimums.
Here's an even better rule: Don't take
off unless the ceiling and visibility are
higher than the lowest published minimums for any approach serving your
departure airport.
Time for a "there I was" story. There
was an 800-foot ceiling and two-mile visibility at Frederick Municipal Airport in
Maryland, AOPA's home base. I took off
from Runway 23 with three passengers
in a Beechcraft Bonanza A36 and was
cleared to 3,000 feet, direct to a nearby
VOR. Soon enough, I was in the soup.
Bonanzas' front doors are known for
their tendency to suddenly pop open if
they aren't closed and latched just right-
a slam and three clicks as you turn the
handle counterclockwise. The first sign
of a door about to pop is the sound of
