As low visibility proc's dont necessary mean you are into CATII - so in this case effectively you can proceed down another 100ft, but its still pretty tight and I think the origional point I was trying to raise is of all the Runways to use in Schiphol its strange to choose this one. Some people were suggesting when conditions are suitable, but infact conditions were more favourable for the lenghty Runways 18C or 18R. Ive operated into Schiphol many times and had RWY22 once - also with a strong SW wind but this was not the case here."
When visiting the tower, the controller told me about LVP coming in force when cloudbase below 300ft due to the fact that the tower controller is situated at 300ft and is unable by then to see the airplanes and has to rely on radar and therefore has to apply LVP.
