A4,

Sorry,you are correct. Getting mixed up with what we do as opposed to the rules!

------

‘(Callsign) you are advised that the current RVR/visibility is (number) metres which is below the absolute minimum for a (name)
approach to runway (number). What are your intentions?’
‘(Callsign) you are advised that the current visibility is 10K+ metres which is not below the absolute minimum for a Circling
approach to runway 01. What are your intentions?’

Make an approach please (Callsign)

Would those that operate into Innsbruck be worried about some shallow fog at the place where the LDA guides you when the field is reporting met above minima for the circle to land.

I think that you will agree that in such a case, you will not even know the RVR at the point where the LDA guides you to.

If there was a VOR/DME X procedure published from a nearby facility say east of the field with (of course) only circle to land minima which were the same as those above, would you not make the approach and circle with the same RVRs and Visibility reported?

Regards,
