What RVR value is specified for POFZ conditions?

What RVR value is specified for POFZ conditions?

• A. RVR 4000 (3/4 Sm)
• B. RVR 6000 (1 Mile)
• C. RVR 2000 (1/4 Sm)
• D. RVR 5000 (1/2 Sm)

Answer: (A)

RVR values set the minimum visibility you need on a given part of an instrument approach. For POFZ conditions, the standard minimum is 4000 feet, which is about 3/4 of a mile. This level provides enough runway environment, approach lighting cues, and the needed obstacle clearance margin to safely complete the final approach and land. If the RVR is at or above 4000 feet, POFZ conditions apply; lower values would not meet this minima. The other options describe higher or lower minima that aren’t the specified POFZ value. So the correct RVR for POFZ conditions is 4000 feet (3/4 mile).
