The CAT II should bring you down to 1200 RVR if I am not mistaken.
Right in both cases...Avroman was trying to explain the process an airline has to go through to get Cat II authorization. It's a 3 stage process, and you must successfully complete each stage before moving onto the next which allows lower mins. Ultimately 1200 rvr after final certification. All crews need specific training, aircraft need to be individually certified, and required equipment must be working in order to shoot the approach.
