We have a HUD

350 meters RVR and 99 off the RA for the decision height.

We got the approach lights at 150 feet and the roll bar at 105 or so and decided to land then.

Quote that sums it to me is the guy sitting in the jump seat that said "****ing A guys I wouldn't drive in this and we just landed".

HUD - Heads up display

RVR - Runway Visual Range, basically how far down the runway you can see because of fog/heavy rain/etc

RA - Radar Altimeter, tells you how far above the ground you are

Decision height the height on certain instrument approaches where you decide to land or commence a missed approach



When I said approach lights I meant the middle white lights. I misspoke about roll bar, we got the red terminating bars and made the decision to land. So the two rows of red lights.


Basically the lowest you could make this approach was weather where you could see 350 meters down the runway, they were calling 700 at the approach end and 450 on rollout. They were lying, it was 450 at best whole runway.

You had to decide to land or not at 99 feet above the ground from your radar altimeter so we were 5-10 above the minimum height we could go to and make a decision when we got the lights we needed to land. Seeing the ground isn't a requirement, just the lights to make sure you're in the right spot.

In case you're more visual. This is titled as a Cat III approach but it looks pretty similar to what we had on the Cat II.

We're in a real weird spot and don't have autoland but fly to cat II mins on autopilot. Once you decide to land it's a fun game of kicking everything off and flaring while taking a good guess of how much rudder to add

"Flaring"

Bought a Husky last month, fun plane! Flew it 15 hrs home from Boston and no issues at all.

Pretty crazy. Doing some end of year performance numbers. Touched 5 continents, 17 countries and moved 2.5ish million pounds of stuff and a couple thousand people this year.
