There might be a difference in the requirement of keeping the rwy environment in sight for the EU, but what you say is incorrect.
So I need some clarification referring to the chart below: according to the minimums box "straight-in (is) not authorized" but let's say we are perfectly visual at MDA 1200 (1140) slightly earlier than MAPt, for example at 4 NM (at DME 9). Do I need to ask for a visual approach in order to continue straight-in for rwy23? Or any other options maybe?
