TopBunk, that is correct! At planning stage you're not allowed to use the lowest approach minima. You have to ensure you'll make it down on the second best, in this case the non-precision VOR approach.

As far as I'm concerned the TAF should say VRB01KT 7000 BR BKN000 VV003 since the "ceiling" is actually at 0'. The VV is only there as a nice-to-know piece of information which tells you you can expect to get some visual reference at 300'.

I guess it all comes down to, do we consider VV as ceiling?
