A pilot wants to select airport for arrival with a runway where RVR is at least 300 metres. Considering the following METARs, valid for the arrival time, and choose the appropriate airport (assume all other criteria for landing to each airport).

- R08R/0250 - RVR for runway 08 R is 250 m
- R08L/0350 - RVR for runway 08 L is 350 m
EGLF 191050Z 07003KT 0000 FZFG R06/0075D VV// M03/M03 Q1008.
- R06/0075D - RVR for runway 06 is 75 m, with a decreasing tendency

- R08/0175U - RVR for runway 08 is 175 m, with an increasing tendency
EGLL 191050Z 09002KT 0100 FZFG R09L/0200U R09R/0250U VV001 M02/M02 Q1008.
- R09L/0200U - RVR for runway 09 L is 200 m, with an increasing tendency
- R09R/0250U - RVR for runway 09 R is 250 m, with an increasing tendency
=> Only EGKK has a higher RVR than 300 m.
Note: RVR tendency (U = increasing; D = decreasing; N = no change) may be added after figure. Furthermore, if visibility is less than the lowest reportable RVR value, an "M" is placed in front of it and if the visibility is greater than the highest reportable value, a "P" is placed in front of it.
