411A of course is correct, just to add a bit

what I've noticed some US pilots confusing in relation to 411a's statement

in US 121 or 135 No air carrier pilot may begin any IAP unless the reported minima meet those list in your company's approved and certificated OpSpecs edit: once established on the final approach course

however, once an approach is commenced the PIC can continue to a landing if adequate visual references are present at DH/DA with the required RVR or other visibility criteria--as stated by 411A above

in part 91 operations the decision is with the PIC as to whether to commence the approach

the actual rules are rather extensive, but that's a concept that I know tends to be confused

but no,... no such thing as an approach in the US ban per se
