yes, but the video title dont say anything about rvr.
-
some airplanes have an auto-approach feature where it can fly the ILS for you down to minimums...even more sophisticated aircraft/pilots have auto-lands where the airplane will fly the approach and landing...however it takes special certification of the airplane and crew to be able to do these approaches
-
So it's not the feature of autopilot
-
ILS is basically 2 transmitters, one on the other side of the runway to give horizontal (Localizer) information and the other, off to the side of the runway, gives vertical (Glide Slope) information. When an airplane flies the ILS approach the pilot tunes to the specific frequency and the radios will give the position of the aircraft relative to the position of the airplane to the runway.

wow respect, hey guys, tell me pls, what is ILS and how does it works?
-
Saying 1/4 SM, I was referencing flight visibility since that's all we can see. I wouldn't tell the FAA anything. Ever. Maybe I misread the intent of your first comment.
-
there is a difference between flight visibilty and reported visibility. Go tell the faa you landed with a 1/4 mile....lol
-
sure it was 1/4. Crossing the threshold you could just barely see past the 1000' markers. 1/4 * 5280'= 1320' or barely past the 1000' markers.
-
regardless of what it says....dont say it was 1/4 mile vis.....
this is way above mins. by saying 1/4 mile you are hangin your ass out for the FAA.
Im sure Ops would love to see that your Co-Pilot duties include videotaping the approach. You gotta be outta yer mind to post that.

The airport could have been calling a prevailing visibility of 1/4 SM...but the runway had an RVR over 1800 (or 2400) depending on the minimums, making the approach perfectly legal.
