ED Decision 2023/007/R
APPLICATION OF RVR REPORTS
(a) There is no prohibition on the commencement of an approach based on reported RVR. The restriction in NCO.OP.210 applies only if the RVR is reported and applies to the continuation of the approach past a point where the aircraft is 1Â 000Â ft above the aerodrome elevation or into the final approach segment (FAS) as applicable.
(b) If a deterioration in the RVR is reported once the aircraft is below 1Â 000Â ft on the FAS, as applicable, then there is no requirement for the approach to be discontinued. In this situation, the normal visual reference requirements would apply at the DA/H.
(c) Where additional RVR information is provided (e.g. midpoint and stop end), this is advisory; such information may be useful to the pilot in order to determine whether there will be sufficient visual reference to control the aircraft during roll-out and taxi.
(d) If the RVR is less than the RVR calculated in accordance with AMC3 NCO.OP.110, a go-around is likely to be necessary since visual reference may not be established at the DH, or at the MDH at a point where a stable approach to landing in the TDZ remains possible. Similarly, in the absence of an RVR report, the reported visibility may indicate that a go-around is likely. The pilot‑in‑command should consider available options, based on a thorough assessment of risk, such as diverting to an alternate, before commencing the approach.
Guidance on NCO.OP.210: RVR reports do not prohibit starting an approach, but continuation past 1,000 ft or into FAS is restricted. Deterioration below 1,000 ft does not force discontinuation. Low RVR or visibility may,
