What is the minimum visibility value below which it is not authorized to continue an approach?

Explanation:
In instrument approaches, you may only continue if the weather meets the published minimums for that approach, including visibility. The minimum visibility that allows continuation is 0.5 statute miles. If the reported or prevailing visibility is below 0.5 mile, you are not authorized to continue the approach and must discontinue or execute a missed approach. Values higher than that (like 1 mile or 2 miles) would allow continuation, while a much smaller value (like 0.25 mile) would be below the allowed minimum.
