Default Who can land in 'fog'

As someone who lives in fog and flys in it often, I say yes. Fog is
almost never uniform. The odds of the flight visibility being the same
as the tower reported vis is almost zero. Most of the time, I just
start to make out the runway lights nearing 100 feet AGL. Once at 100
AGL you can see A LOT more (probably because fog effect slant line
vis). Remember you can go down to 100 feet after seeing the rabbit. Its
kind of cool to look outside and see nothing but fog but a white
electric rabbit running back and forth!!
