I will reach out to someone in training, as I could not find a field that had standard takeoff minus’s (and should be reducible from the OpSpec), but also did not have ‘AVR’ of 16 or 1/4.
Thanks!!
Am I overthinking this? If the chart has a published minimum you use that...you can’t lower the minimum below what is published on the chart. If the airport has no published take off minima or just the STD and it is less then you can use the chart in FM-1...that’s my take on it
