With the LIDO charts I have been trying to find the reference for the vizability units for the approach charts i.e. 310-550 would be 310 minima and 550m but when it becomes say 310-1.2 is the 1.2 sm or 1200m. I can't find the reference in the legends and tables.
Easy question I know but caused some different answers the other day so looking for clarification and reference.

"310-550....310 is the minima" I would check that first because i think you find it may not be all the time.

Lido have something like ft-m/km
ft

so for example 200-550
230

Similar to the Jepp plates. The bold figure is the minima.

Happy landings.

From what I can see on the charts, the units are given on the left hand side of the minima table.
