Passing the FAF during an approach, you are advised that the RVR has dropped below the published minimums for that approach. You ______ continue the approach.

• A. May
• B. Must
• C. Cannot
• D. Should not

Answer: (A)

Minimums apply to the instrument portion of an approach. If you’ve passed the final approach fix and are told the runway visibility (RVR) has fallen below those published minimums, you are not prohibited from continuing as long as you have the runway environment in sight and can proceed to land using visual references. In that case you may continue the approach and land, relying on the visual segment rather than the instrument minima. If you do not have the runway in sight or cannot maintain the needed visual references, you should execute a missed approach.
