Wink Slant Range vs RVR......NDB approach

NDB approach at AMS06 has the following minima:-

CAT C MDA570 RVR 1200m

If the weather was just above this minima lets say 1500m would I actually see the approach lights on a continous 3deg descent..?

I have been told that a good rule of thumb to see the approach lights is 6xMDA, so at AMS06 this would be 3420m less length approach lights 900m, = 2520m some 1000m too short.

I realise this is all to do with slant range vs actual RVR, but how do I explain why i dont see the approach lights..?
