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. My apologies, I thought you were talking about the Prevailing Visibility, as reported by the tower. The flight visibility, is determined by the pilot. The tower can be calling it 1/8 mile, RVR 600', but if I can see the environment from the DH, I have demonstrated 1/2 mile flight vis. But there is no requirement you see the environment from the DH, only the approach lights. -Robert, CFII |
