Those are the same numbers I learned for my IMC, long ago.

BUT ... the "recent" wisdom is that they are only "recommended" increases to the minima on the plates. The inference is that you can, in theory, legally continue down to the IR minima.

I suspect that may "technically" be right, but I'm not sure I'd advise it. You need to be very current to handle an approach to IR minima in real IMC.

Having done some ILS and NDB approaches today (under the hood) to keep my FAA IR current, I can tell you it ain't easy even if you are pretty current.
