If a pilot has the required flight visibility, what can they do when reaching DA/MDA?

When a pilot reaches the Decision Altitude (DA) or Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) and has the required flight visibility, they can continue the approach for landing. This is because having the necessary visibility indicates that the pilot is able to see the runway environment, such as the runway itself, runway markings, or lighting, which are crucial for a safe landing. If these visual references are present and clear, the pilot can proceed confidently to complete the landing.

In instrument flight rules (IFR) operations, if a pilot does not have the visibility required when reaching DA/MDA, they would typically need to execute a missed approach. Thus, the ability to continue to land under the specified conditions reflects an understanding of the importance of visual cues and regulations surrounding safe landing practices.
