Q

If receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) is not available prior to beginning a GPS approach, the pilot should

A

use a navigation or approach system other than GPS for an approach

standard rate unless otherwise advised

57
Q

RVR minimums for landing are prescribed in an IAP, but RVR is inoperative and cannot be reported for the intended runway at the time. Which of the following would be an operation consideration?
