you also need the airfield to be in LVPs (Low Visibility Procedures

 

Spot on!

 

Here in Canada they're commonly referred to as RVOP (Above RVR 1200, but below RVR 2600, considered optional), and LVOP (Below RVR 1200).

 

A number of airports here have RVOP, but only a small handful have LVOP (CYVR, CYYZ, CYUL, CYWG, CYYC). Requirements to fly in each vary in both RVOP and LVOP from the airport's facilities (ILS CAT II/III, RWY Level Of Service, aircraft equipment, and pilot certification. Low minima, stricter requirements! And at the less-equipped airports there's a limit of 1 airport on the maneuvering area at a time! :O
