We did them to 200' and 1/4 mile. Sounds hard to believe today, but
we took it for granted.

So ILS mins of 200 and 1/2 seem quite reasonable.

When students ask me what my personal mins are here in the fog, I used
to just tell them "2 dots". If at any point I get more than 2 dots off
the loc, I'll go missed, otherwise I'll follow it all the way to mins.
As a CFII I'm not really suppose to say that though
