While watching a lot of landing videos and whatnot, I hear "minimums"
called out as an aircraft approaches its landing field.


Brian, who is calling "minimums" ? This is typically done on a two
pilot crew when the PM makes an "Appoaching Minimums" and "Minimums"
callouts. On newer planes this is done automatically according to
where the minimums bug is set (Usually referenced to RA).


The newer Boeings may call "minimums" from the approach set in the
FMS.


Nope,. they call it off the rad alt.


Is it always 200 feet or is it based on the approach though?
