If ATC informs a pilot that minimums are below the required levels during the final approach segment, what can the pilot do?

The correct choice allows the pilot to legally continue with the approach if they are already inside the Final Approach Fix (FAF). Once a pilot crosses the FAF, they are typically committed to the approach unless there are significant concerns regarding safety or visibility. The FAA regulations permit pilots to continue the approach as they have already initiated the process and are within the defined safety margins established for the approach procedure.

Continuing beyond the FAF is consistent with the procedure’s design, which encompasses the considerations related to minimum visibility. It ensures that pilots have enough situational awareness to quickly evaluate their position and make appropriate decisions as they approach the runway.

While other options may seem reasonable, they either do not reflect the procedural commitments made once the FAF is crossed or add unnecessary complexity when the pilot may still safely proceed with landing upon arrival. Choosing to divert or go around prior to the FAF does not align with the established guidelines for approach management if adequate safety has been maintained.
