I said that by the time you are transferred to "Tower" and you have already passed the decision point and are then given RVRs that are below minimum then you may continue and land if it is possible. (The CAA used to qualify this as being 1000 feet above the runway).
So "Essex Radar/APC" have NOT kept you informed/up to date on current IRVRs then?
watp,iktch

As ATCO's during LVP's we have to vector the aircraft to a minimum of a 10 mile final, at SS in excess of 3000ft. When established the current IRVR is passed to the a/c, then the a/c is transferred to the TWR who will again pass the IRVR. The a/c will be well above the decision altitude when the IRVR's are given.
