All three conditions must be met: 1. The aircraft is continuously in a position from which a descent to a landing on the intended runway can be made at a normal rate of descent using normal maneuvers. 2. The flight visibility (or the enhanced flight visibility, if equipped) is not less than thevisibility prescribed in the standard instrument approach being used. 3. At least one of the following visual references for the intended runway is distinctly visible and identifiable to the pilot: (except for CAT II & III approaches)a. The approach light system, except you may descend below 100 feet above the touchdown zone only if the red terminating bars or the red side row bars are also visible and identifiable. b. The threshold. c. The threshold markings. d. The threshold lights. e. The runway end identifier lights. f. The visual approach slope indicator. g. The touchdown zone or its markings. h. The touchdown zone lights. i. The runway or runway markings. j. The runway lights.Aircraft approach categories
