Under High Minimums, the landing minimums can never be lower than

• A. 300 feet / 1 SM
• B. 200 feet / 1/2 SM
• C. 100 feet / 1/2 SM
• D. 400 feet / 2 SM

Answer: (A)

High Minimums establish a safety floor for landing minima. The rule is that, when operating under High Minimums, you can never have landing minimums lower than 300 feet and 1 statute mile visibility. This floor provides a consistent safety margin in degraded conditions and aligns with airline operating policies. The other options are lower than that mandated floor, so they’re not permissible under High Minimums. The 400 feet / 2 SM choice is higher than the floor and could be used if the actual minima were that high, but it does not define the minimum allowed; the floor itself is 300 feet / 1 SM.
