DETERMINATION OF RVR/CMV/VIS MINIMA FOR NPA, APV, CAT I — AEROPLANES

Note that the formula used to calculate the minimum RVR or visibility required is:

RVR/VIS (m) = [(DH/MDH (ft) x 0.3048)/tanα] — length of approach lights (m)

where α is the glideslope, typically 3.00°


If a DH/MDH is increased by NOTAM, then:

The required Increase in RVR/VIS (m) =  (Published Increase in DH/MDH (ft) x 0.3048)/tanα
