  •  (1) With respect to an aeroplane, for the purposes of subsection (3), the RVR is below the minimum RVR if

    • (a) where both RVR “A” and RVR “B” are measured, RVR “A” is less than 1,200 feet and RVR “B” is less than 600 feet; or

    • (b) where only one of RVR “A” or RVR “B” is measured, the RVR is below 1,200 feet.

  • (2) With respect to a helicopter, for the purposes of subsection (3), the RVR is below the minimum RVR if

    • (a) where both RVR “A” and RVR “B” are measured, RVR “A” is less than 1,200 feet; or

    • (b) where only one of RVR “A” or RVR “B” is measured, the RVR is below 1,200 feet.

  • (3) Where the RVR is reported to be below the minimum RVR as described in subsection (1) or (2), as applicable, the pilot-in-command of an IFR aircraft conducting an instrument approach shall discontinue the approach unless

    • (a) when the RVR report is received, the aircraft

      • (i) has passed the outer marker or the fix that serves as the outer marker, and

      • (ii) is in descent to the runway;

    • (b) the aircraft is on a training flight where a landing is not intended, and the appropriate air traffic control unit is informed that a missed approach procedure will be initiated at or above the decision height or the minimum descent altitude, as appropriate;

    • (c) the RVR is fluctuating above and below the minimum RVR and the ground visibility of the aerodrome where the runway is located is reported to be at least one-quarter mile; or

    • (d) the pilot-in-command of the aircraft is conducting a precision approach to CAT III minima.
