By the time the pilot had accrued 500 hours as first pilot (in other words in command) the 100 ft addition to MDA/DH was removed. In addition, it was considered the pilot had accrued enough decision making time (500 true PIC) to have the experience to undertake a zero/zero takeoff. In other words takeoff blind.

Centaurus... here in US they teach full instrument takeoffs while undergoing their instruments training.
