I think that you are mixing apples and oranges. Departure minimums have nothing to do with landing minimums. The only criterea when departing from an airport that is below landing minimums is to include a "Departure Alternate" for planning purposes. Unless an airport operator specifies higher departure minimums, our Ops Specs allow us to depart with 600 (feet) RVR, provided that runway centerline lights are operative and that at least two out of three RVR detectors are operative. Our Jeppesen airport charts include FAR 121 takeoff minimums for each runway.
