Sorry, 750 m for a CAT I approach installation without FDs, is it?

AMC5 CAT.OP.MPA.110 Aerodrome operating minima (a) (4) An RVR of less than 750 m as indicated in Table 5 may be used:

(ii) for CAT I operations to runways without RTZL and RCLL when using an approved head-up guidance landing system (HUDLS), or equivalent approved system, or when conducting a coupled approach or flight-director-flown approach to a DH. The ILS should not be published as a restricted facility;

If you read (a)(4)(i) you can use less than 750m if you have a FALS, RTZL and RCLL. No FDs needed. Check table 5.

Correct, that means CAT II approach light set. Wouldn't you just shoot CAT IIIA (or fancier) with RVR 200 and be done with it?

On a standard CAT I installation as already mentioned (twice) FDs are valuable well beyond ILS deviation needles.
