Sorry to hijack the thread but I have another question regards the approach ban and it relates to paragraph (d):

(d) Where no outer marker or equivalent position exists, the commander or the pilot to whom conduct of the flight has been delegated shall make the decision to continue or abandon the approach before descending below 1 000 ft above the aerodrome on the final approach segment. If the MDA/H is at or above 1 000 ft above the aerodrome, the operator shall establish a height, for each approach procedure, below which the approach shall not be continued if RVR/visibility is less than applicable minima.

Does this mean that the commander is entitled to continue the approach past 1000ft even if the RVR is below minima, they just have to decide by 1000ft what they are going to do?

Thanks.
