Approach Ban - All Aircraft
8.1 The requirements for the commencement and continuation of an approach are defined in Articles 47, 48 and 49 of the Air
Navigation Order 2005.
8.2 An aircraft may commence an instrument approach regardless of the reported RVR/Visibility but the approach shall not be
continued below 1000 ft above the aerodrome if the relevant RVR/Visibility for that runway is at the time less than the specified minimum
for landing.
8.3 Where RVR is not available, RVR values may be derived by converting the reported visibility in accordance with paragraph 7.
8.4 If, after passing 1000 ft in accordance with paragraph 8.2, the reported RVR/Visibility falls below the applicable minimum, the
approach may be continued to DA/H or MDA/H.
8.5 The approach may be continued below DA/H or MDA/H and the landing may be completed provided that the required visual
reference is established at the DA/H or MDA/H and is maintained.
