Which statement correctly describes Category II minima for an ILS approach?

• A. Height above touchdown not less than 200 ft; RVR not less than 1,800 ft
• B. Height above touchdown not less than 100 ft; RVR not less than 1,000 ft
• C. Height above touchdown not less than 150 ft; RVR not less than 1,500 ft
• D. Height above touchdown not less than 100 ft; RVR not less than 1,200 ft

Answer: (D)

Category II ILS minima define how low you can descend and how little runway visibility you must have to complete a landing using an instrument approach. For Category II, the minimum height above the runway at which you must have the required visual cues is not less than 100 feet, and the runway visual range (RVR) must be at least 1,200 feet. This combination lets you continue the approach with reduced visibility compared to Category I, while still requiring enough visual information to safely land. The other options describe higher landing minima or lower visibility than Category II allows, so they don’t match the established Category II limits.
