avoiding bad weather

If the airplane is damaged, out of annual and repairs
adequate to get a ferry permit are not possible at the
location, trucking is likely easier than flying in a crew
and tools to some remote lake.

I didn't say VFR, I know full well what the VFR and IFR
minimums are. The OP was talking 200-300 YARDS visibility.

How many times have you landed with 1 mile, how many times
have you landed with 1/2 mile? How many CAT 1 ILS have you
done to minimums? Ever done a CAT 2?
