An identification of common meteors observed simultaneously optically and by radar is usually based on time coincidence of both events. Another criterion of commonness of such meteors can be based on the comparison of radar specular point range and the corresponding distance inferred from the optical data of simultaneous multistation observation. In case when only single station optical data are available together with wide beam radar data, only the height interval within which the optical train formed, can be estimated. Such estimation of possible heights of occurrence of Leonid bright meteor observed in 1999 is used to decide which recorded radar echo could be caused by a counterpart of the optical meteor. The derivation of the positional vector of the radar specular point following from the multistation optical observation, in case when the location of radar does not coincide with that of any optical station, is also carried out.
