What is the minimum reported ground visibility for a contact approach?

Explanation:
A contact approach lets you fly visually to the airport under ATC guidance, rather than through a full instrument procedure, but it requires you to be in visual conditions. The minimum requirement is one mile of reported ground visibility, and you must remain clear of clouds. This minimum ensures you can maintain visual reference to the airport and surrounding terrain while maneuvering to land. The other visibility figures are not the standard for this kind of approach—they correspond to different procedures or more restrictive weather conditions.
