We were speaking legall; I think we agree that legally the 001OVC
1/8SM is not significant. I think everyone is hung up on the visibility of
the runway from the plane.

Could it be that if he could not see you, he could not guarantee that
there was not someone else around that he could not see also, (so could
not clear you) so he told you what runway was in use and turned over
separation responsibility to you.


No, that couldn't be.
