Runway Visual Range (RVR) Calculator
Convert reported Runway Visual Range (RVR) in feet and meters to statute miles. Check precision approach authorization across Category I, II, and III ILS minimums.
Reported Runway Visual Range (RVR)
RVR 300 (CAT IIIb)RVR 2400 (CAT I Standard)RVR 6000 (1-1/4 SM)
FAA AIM Table 7-1-10 Reference:
RVR is measured by transmissometers along the runway touchdown, midpoint, and rollout zones. When reported, RVR takes precedence over prevailing ground visibility for precision approach authorization.
