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


Now he said 2 to 300 yards not 200 to 300. Sounds just like my old
boss when we'd ask about the raises. Oh...they are probably going to
be between 4 and 500 dollars a week.

How many times have you landed with 1 mile, how many times


One mile? probably half a dozen times. My instructor had me do
several right down to minimums in actual before taking the check ride.
If the ceiling is high enough one mile is not bad. Kinda gloomy though
and it makes a circle to land really interesting.

have you landed with 1/2 mile? How many CAT 1 ILS have you


Nope and no intention of trying.

done to minimums? Ever done a CAT 2?
