Kak Klaxon, hi there you did absolutely correct. Here is the reference:
Subject to the approval of the Authority, and provided the requirements in
paragraphs (A) to (E) below have been satisfied, an operator may reduce the takeoff minima to 125 m RVR (Category A, B and C aeroplanes) or 150 m RVR (Category D aeroplanes) when:
(A) Low Visibility Procedures
are in force;
(B) High intensity runway
centerline lights spaced 15 m or less
and high intensity edge lights spaced
60 m or less are in operation;
(C) Flight crew members have
satisfactorily completed training in a
Flight Simulator;
(D) A 90 m visual segment is
available from the cockpit at the start
of the take-off run; and
(E) The required RVR value
has been achieved for all of the
relevant RVR reporting points.
(ii) Subject to the approval of the
Authority, an operator of an aeroplane using
an approved lateral guidance system for
take-off may reduce the take-off minima to
an RVR less than 125 m (Category A, B and C aeroplanes) or 150 m (Category D aeroplanes) but not lower than 75 m provided runway protection and facilities equivalent to Category III landing operations are available.
There's also a note saying that The reported RVR/Visibility value representative of the initial part of the take-off run can be replaced by pilot
assessment. There's as usual different interpretations of that note. Some people are saying that it's only possible if the TDZ RVR isn't given. The others are saying it's irrelevant and regardless of the RVR given foe the initial part (even if it's reported below let's say min is 125 and reported TDZ RVR is 100) it can be replaced by visual means. Anyone got any idea?
Cheers.
