(4) When operating at foreign airports where the published landing minimums are specified in RVR, the RVR may not be available, therefore the meteorological visibility is reported. When the minimums are reported in meteorological visibility, the certificate holder shall convert meteorological visibility to RVR by multiplying the reported visibility by the appropriate factor, shown in Table 3. The conversion of reported meteorological visibility to RVR is used only for Category I landing minimums, and shall not be used for takeoff minima, CAT II or III minima, or when a reported RVR is available.
