Regarding reduced visibility, which statement reflects appropriate action?

• A. Continues with the approach regardless of minima
• B. Increase descent rate to meet minimums quickly
• C. Abide by weather minima, or request alternate guidance and consider a go-around if necessary
• D. Land immediately if visibility improves

Answer: (C)

Reduced visibility calls for sticking to the published weather minima for your approach. Those minima define the minimum visibility and ceiling required to continue safely. If you can’t meet them, you must either request alternate guidance from ATC (different approach with higher minima, radar vectors, or other routing) or initiate a go-around. This keeps you within safe obstacle clearance and ensures you have the necessary visual references to land. Pushing on below minima or trying to rush descent to “catch up” is unsafe, and landing immediately if visibility briefly improves isn’t a reliable option unless you’re actually within and stabilized at the required minima.
