What is the minimum RVR required to execute the CAT D Straight-in VOR RWY 21 approach at Mombasa?

The minimum Runway Visual Range (RVR) required for executing a Category D straight-in VOR approach is based on specific regulatory and operational standards, which typically mandate higher visibility requirements for aircraft classified under this category due to their larger size and speed, requiring more visual reference for safety during approach and landing.

In the case of a straight-in VOR RWY 21 approach at Mombasa, the requirement is set at 2400 meters for RVR. This minimum ensures that pilots can adequately perceive the runway environment and any obstacles along the approach path, thereby enhancing safety. These standards are established to accommodate the performance characteristics of Category D aircraft and account for factors such as approach speeds and operational procedures.

Understanding such RVR requirements is crucial for pilots and operators conducting approaches in varying visibility conditions, ensuring compliance with aviation regulations and maintaining safety during operations.
