Yes, so if holding over a CAT2 airfield you need CAT1 minimum (550m RVR is not VMC!)
Also i thought Final Reserve Fuel was the fuel to fly for 30 minutes at holding speed 1,500ft above aerodrome elevation in ISA calculated with the estimated landing mass on arrival at the alternate or the destination when no alternate is required.
So you burn part of or all your alternate fuel in the hold over you destination, you get to your EAT, and the weather has gone below minimums OR and aircraft has blocked the runway due to a burst tire OR the EAT has changed.
All of your options have now gone, apart from being a smoking hole in the ground.
