A white 'T' in a black upside-down triangle indicates that takeoff minimums are not standard and/or departure procedures are published.

A white 'T' in a black upside-down triangle indicates that takeoff minimums are not standard and/or departure procedures are published.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It indicates standard minima
• D. It indicates enroute procedures

Answer: (A)

The symbol flags nonstandard takeoff minimums and/or a published departure procedure. When you see a white T inside a black inverted triangle, it means you must consult the airport’s takeoff minimums and any published departure procedures to know the exact requirements, such as climb gradients, minimum visibility, or specific routing after liftoff. If standard takeoff minimums apply and there’s no published DP, you won’t see this symbol. It doesn’t pertain to enroute procedures, which are for the flight after departure.
