Well, I think 2118 - 0 = 2118 m. If the visibility is less than 2100 m, you will not see the runway.

Why is Jeppesen showing 1900 I do not know, is this the correct figure as calculated by the Amd 1 (new) OPS 1.430 equation?

On a secondary topic, why they show RVR is also beyond my understanding. The relevance of any RVR measurement in TDZ towards pilot's decision on an NPA - 2 kilometers away and up in the air is, ... er, very distant? Alphacentrauri provides a good lead on this. Austria or Australia, the aviation rules are pretty much identical, especially those related to geometry and physics. Even if the wording may be different.
