A category III approach (CAT III with 0 visibility) are rarely executed because most aircraft don't have the equipment, plus once you land with that kind of visibility taxiing can be impossible or incredibly dangerous. and also the pilots have to be authorized to this landing. Not every pilot can land cat3. and also the airport infrastructure must be suitable for cat3.
Man, 87’s flight deck is sexy; from the windows, to the MFD’s, to the HUD’s, makes everything I’ve ever flown look like horse and buggy tech. Looks like it turns IMC into something fun, rather than a high-workload chore.
Incredible approach, thanks for sharing! Would you be okay with me featuring this in my series Weekly Dose of Aviation? Of course you will be credited both in the video and in the description.

Hopefully the pilots had a better view than the camera did because from our perspective it looked like they blew past minimums without runway in sight... 😅
@@devinbrown1995 My understanding of a Cat III B approach is that it still would be illegal to land without visual confirmation. It's Cat III C that got a theoretical no decision height.
In this very visibility , the landing lights and strobe lights should be turn off also to dim cockpit background lights to help seeing approach and runway lights early
The landing must have taken every passenger by complete surprise. No radio altimeter call outs, for them. Nothing. Being a passenger in approaches like these is horrible.
