2 miles or greater.
at least 3 miles, or 2 miles more than the lowest applicable minimum.
3 miles.

12. The pilot in command of an airplane en route determines that icing conditions can be expected that might adversely affect safety of the flight. Which action is appropriate?

The pilot in command may continue to the original destination airport, after climbing to a higher altitude.
The pilot in command shall not continue flight into the icing conditions.
The flight may continue to the original destination airport, provided all anti-icing and deicing equipment is operational and is used.

13. The weather conditions that meet the minimum requirements for a flag air carrier to take off from an alternate airport that is not listed in the Operations Specifications are

800-2.
900-1.
1000-1/2.

15. The minimum weather conditions that must exist for a domestic air carrier flight to take off from an airport that is not listed in the Air Carrier's Operations Specifications (takeoff minimums are not prescribed for that airport) is

800-2, 1,100-1, or 900-1-1/2.
