The 500-foot restriction is lifted after how many nautical miles if the climb can be continued in visual conditions on a Case II jet departure?

In this case, you’re dealing with a Case II jet departure where a 500-foot obstacle clearance restriction applies during the initial instrument climb. If you’re in visual conditions and can continue the climb using visual references, that restriction can be lifted once you’ve reached seven nautical miles from the runway. Seven miles provides enough distance to transition from the instrument path to a safe visual climb while still maintaining obstacle clearance. If you’re not yet in visual conditions or haven’t reached that distance, you must continue under the 500-foot restriction.
