I remember landing at KMBS in a terrible snowstorm and it looked just like that!

@robere35 When things go shit ass wrong -------> Hand fly the aircraft...... and they DO have the skills to FLY
-
The people who fly these things are unbelievably skilled and well-trained. And I'll bet it doesn't get any easier after the landing, when you have to taxi in viz this bad!

@21voyageur CAT IIIc – Category IIIc – Approach
A precision instrument approach and landing with no decision height and no runway visual range limitations. (ICAO – IS&RP Annex 6).
-
Very little skill required to fly the aircraft but lots of skill in terms of knowledge and awareness required in case things go wrong
-
I do it daily!

Two things. Until the plane actually gets to the runway the video camera has nothing to focus on. This makes the visibility seem worse than it really was because the focus is way off.
A CAT 3C landing can only be done automatically. There is no hand flying a CAT 3C approach. The plane can land quite nicely without the pilots ever seeing the runway. The only reason that there is a minimum visibility requirement for this landing is so that the pilots can get the plane off the runway after landing.

@FlyWMU - indeed sir you are correct. Talk about a knife's edge and blind faith in technology. Are we far from pilotless craft?

Future aircraft will have a pilot and a dog. The pilot is there to feed the dog; and the dog is there to bite the pilot if he touches anything.
