Am I missing something? The approaches to Rwy 05 need 1sm Vis. There is no RVR listed but it would be 5000 RVR?

From the time period 0300z. Onward I do not see 1sm advertised unless it was called 1sm by Approach Control when the flight was just outside of the FAF and dropped back down to 1/2sm on the 0313z SPECI. Would the be inside the FAF before 0313z? The viz was worse earlier? Crash at approx 0330z and I still dont see the legal approval to be inside the FAF. Ideas?
