Default Phrase "landing runway" vs. "cleared to land"

You are correct that as a Part 91 flight you can begin the approach
even if it is reported Zero-Zero, and you are allowed to land if you
have the runway
environment in site when you reach the decision point on the
approach.

You must also have the prescribed flight visibility

Nope, just the runway environment.


FAR 91.175 is pretty clear that the prescribed flight visibility is
required to land:

(d) Landing. No pilot operating an aircraft, except a military
aircraft of the United States, may land that aircraft when—
(1) [refers to use of enhanced vision systems]; or

(2) For all other part 91 operations and parts 121, 125, 129, and 135
operations, the flight visibility is less than the visibility
prescribed in the standard instrument approach procedure being used.



Also, as I've already posted, 91.175(c) prohibits even continuing
below DH unless you have the prescribed visibility.




Yeah, but you get to decide if it's adequate at DH
