Default Fact or satirical fiction?

The controlling visibility, once a flight is at or past the
FAF, is flight visibility. If the pilot can see the
required distance, he has minimums and can land. Commercial
operations can't make the approach to "look see" unless the
reported visibility is above minimums, but can continue if
at/past the FAF. Part 91 can fly the approach in any
condition, but must have the required items identified at DH
and have the flight visibility to land.


Jim, Jim, Jim...... All that is very nice, and proves you can regurgitate
arcana with the best of them, but doesn't answer my question. The report as
posted seems to indicate that the ILS minimums of the approach in question
are 200 and 3/8 mile. Is that legit? All the time I was flying, basic ILS
minimums were 200 and 1/2.
