The symbol 'T' on minimums indicates what?

That symbol flags nonstandard takeoff minimums or a published obstacle departure procedure for that runway, or both. It tells you that standard takeoff minimums don’t apply and you must refer to the published minimums or the departure procedure to determine the required visibility, climb gradient, and the route to fly for obstacle clearance. You’ll check the takeoff minimums section or the notes/ODP referenced on the chart to see the exact requirements. This ensures you comply with the published guidance to maintain safe clearance from obstacles. It’s not about time, terrain, or wind restrictions—the symbol specifically points to departure provisions that differ from standard takeoff criteria.
