Technically its never closed due to poor visibilility. As runway centreline lighting is available take-offs can take place down to RVR 200m. Its just that approaches to land cannot be legally flown when the RVR falls below approxinately 800 metres. This value is calculated using a combination of the lowest decision height for a particular aircraft and the length of the approach lighting system.
