Category I (CAT I): a DH not lower than 200 ft and with either a visibility not less than 800 m or an RVR not less than 550 m;
2.
Category II (CAT II): a DH lower than 200 ft but not lower than 100 ft, and an RVR not less than 300 m;
3.
Category III (CAT III): a DH lower than 100 ft or no DH, and an RVR less than 300 m or no RVR limitation.

125m and
Centre line markings; and
Runway end lights; and

50
How far down the runway does the minimum RVR apply for take off?
The minimum RVR value specified in Table 8.1.3.3(2) should be achieved for all reporting points representative of the parts of the runway from the point at which the aircraft commences the take-off until the calculated accelerate-stop distance from that point.
51
Why is the minimum RVR value 125m for LVTO?
The value of 125 m RVR for take-off with 15 m centre line lights spacing has been selected because flight deck geometry means that this will provide at least a 90 m visual segment for the large majority of aircraft types. In a 90 m visual segment the pilot is expected to be able to see six centre line light intervals (seven centre line lights) at 15 m spacing once lined up on the runway centre line.
