I know a Part 91 pilot can start an approach when visibility is below minimums for the approach. But, what about this scenario:

The prescibed visibility on the approach is 1 mile. The reported vis. is 1/4 mile, but over the final fix the pilot sees the runway lights. When he gets lower, he determines the flight vis. on the runway is only about 1/4 to 1/2 mile. Can he legally land? Does he only have to have the runway in sight or does he have to determine the flight vis. is at least what is published for the approach?
