With an autopilot whose flight manual supplement says "200ft min", it looks like 533m is going to be the absolute minimum for a private flight.
Is it?

200ft minimum use height * 1.25 = 250ft

So the absolute minimum RVR is 600m

If using CMV then the minimum visibility that will give you a CMV of 600m is at best:

400m ( *1.5) by day and 300m (*2.0) by night.

However, once the new bits of EU-OPS (which are already being used by most commercial operators) are put into the AIP fro private operators then you will be able to have DH = minimum use height but the CMV can not be used for minima less than 800m

So if you want to get used to the new parts then unless RVR is reported, you are going to be stuck with 800m CMV!!

Most people who fly seriously fly with Jepp plates, which give the visibility figure directly

No.

Jeppesen does not cover all situations and in some cases (CDFA minimums published as DA(H) being one) there are significant issues to be resolved.

It is very much the amateur pilot who blindly follows what a company with a disclaimer as long as your arm publishes.
