Runway Visual Range (RVR) measured by a transmissometer defines the distance one can see down the centerline of the runway. It is one of the main criteria used to determine the instrument approach minima. The maximum RVR measured is 2000 meters and no conversion to visibility is made. As long as the published approach RVR for a given runway is met an instrument approach can be made down to the D.H. and a landing carried out.
