(3) failures other than ILS, MLS affect RVR only and not DH.

CAT.OP.MPA.110 AMC12 Aerodrome operating minima
VFR OPERATIONS WITH OTHER-THAN-COMPLEX MOTOR-POWERED AIRCRAFT
For the establishment of VFR operation minima, the operator may apply the VFR operating minima
specified in Part-SERA. Where necessary, the operator may specify in the OM additional conditions
for the applicability of such minima taking into account such factors as radio coverage, terrain, nature
of sites for take-off and landing, flight conditions and ATS capacity.

ONSHORE AERODROME DEPARTURE PROCEDURES — HELICOPTERS
The cloud base and visibility should be such as to allow the helicopter to be clear of cloud at take-off
decision point (TDP), and for the pilot flying to remain in sight of the surface until reaching the
minimum speed for flight in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) given in the AFM.
