Remember too that in the 121 world, ONLY visibility is the limiting factor for flying the approach (IE if you have VV00 and 1/2SM, you can attempt a regular ILS, but if you have CLR and 1/4SM you can't fly the approach).

Of course these rules only apply to commerical ops (Part 91 can attempt the approach in 0/0)
What do you mean part 91 can attempt the approach in 0/0? Also I'm in the military and want to know the differeneces to which the Part 91/121/135 etc pertain to.
thanks
