Hi,

An answer from another forum :

1. The distance of the MAP is calculated according to the obstacle clearance required by the missed approach segments;

2. The RVR minimum for a runway is calculated, not based on the MAP distance, but based on the MDA and the airport infrastructure.

That explain the illogic difference between the RVR and the required visibility for the approach.

Bye,
Vincent.
