Visual Approach and AIP ENR 1.14.a(3)

Hi all,

AIP ENR 1.14.a(3) states that a visual approach may be commenced when certain criteria are met including:

(3) with a flight visibility not less than 5,000M or, in the case
of a helicopter, is able to proceed under helicopter VMC,
or the aerodrome is in sight...

In the case of an aeroplane does that last part apply or is that part of the helicopter bit? i.e. can an aeroplane pilot continue with visibility of less than 5,000M but with the aerodrome in sight?
