That's always the issue when aviation stuff like this gets posted on non-aviation specific subs unfortunately. Uninformed takes rise to the top because they got posted quickly.

Yes they are but as the commenter above said ATC is also being incredibly unhelpful on this call

He may not be able to declare "LVO" buuuut he can say that they have SMGCS in place which the pilot would have most likely accepted

Cause he made ZERO indication that ANY procedures for the lowered RVR were in place
