The SWA clearance, with Fedex on 3 Miles out on a Cat III landing, was just off.
Can anyone confirm if LVP/LVO were in place? I read it wasn’t on the ATIS and when pilot mentions cat 3 I don’t think it’s confirmed by tower.
There are (very occasionally) times when the viz is below limits but LVPs aren’t yet in place.

I’d expect to tell pilots explicitly whether there is protection. Or is there an assumption in the US that if viz is below limits or you request cat 3 you will automatically get protection?
