I have a question that sort've pertains to this and the link that X rated posted sort've answers my question. When getting the reported RVR and deciding to shoot the approach anyway, is this illegal? In that link it says that if a not-for-hire pilot decides to shoot the approach anyway and lands, then he/she has a difficult task in proving that that RVR was inaccurate. However, it does not say that the shooting of the approach down to minimums and going missed is illegal.

I recently decided to shoot an approach even though the reported RVR was 1000 and the minimum for the approach was 2400, though I went missed and didn't land cause I couldn't see anything at all. The controller kept reminding me that the RVR was 1000, and I knew I wasn't going to land, just wanted to see what stuff looked like down there. I am just wondering if this is considered illegal?? Doesn't seem to be if you're not-for-hire.
