NCC.OP.230 Commencement and continuation of
approach
Regulation (EU) 2021/2237
(a) For aeroplanes, if the reported visibility (VIS) or controlling RVR for the runway to be used for landing is less than the applicable minimum, then an instrument approach operation shall not be continued:
(1) past a point at which the aeroplane is 1 000 ft above the aerodrome elevation; or
(2) into the final approach segment (FAS) if the DH or MDH is higher than 1 000 ft.
(b) For helicopters, if the reported RVR is less than 550 m and the controlling RVR for the runway to be used for landing is less than the applicable minimum, then an instrument approach operation shall not be continued:
(1) past a point at which the helicopter is 1 000 ft above the aerodrome elevation; or
(2) into the FAS if the DH or MDH is higher than 1 000 ft.
(c) If the required visual reference is not established, a missed approach shall be executed at or before the DA/H or the MDA/H.
(d) If the required visual reference is not maintained after DA/H or MDA/H, a go-around shall be executed promptly.
(e) Notwithstanding point (a), in the case where no RVR is reported, and the reported VIS is less than the applicable minimum, but the converted meteorological visibility (CMV) is equal or greater than the applicable minimum, then the instrument approach can be continued to the DA/H or MDA/H.
(f) Notwithstanding points (a) and (b), if there is no intention to land, the instrument approach may be continued to the DA/H or the MDA/H. A missed approach shall be executed at or before the DA/H or the MDA/H.
EASA Aviation Regulations: Approach Continuation Aircraft instrument approaches are restricted when visibility is below minimums. Airplanes and helicopters cannot continue below 1000ft above the airfield or enter final approach if decision height exceeds 1000ft. Missed approaches are mandatory if visual reference is lost at decision altitude. Approaches are allowed without landing intention.
