ExTreme? Nah. This is typical stuff for these guys, especially in London. Minimums at 100' + lights and runway in sight at 100' = CAT II. No need for autoland on this one. Show me a real CATIII landing in zero/zero and I'll call it extreme. Nice video though.

@sonicgearHD Cat III means that tower control will sacrifice 3 cats if the pilot doesn't properly land the plane on the first go. THREE cat lives are at stake, so the pilots are compelled to make it... for the cats.

That's cat II...

NOT CAT III

Never fly a plane that calls you a retard.

@shiftysbrother I get that this is what IFR is for but I still puckered a little until I saw the runway.

Been there , done that. Quite challenging sometimes , but this landing here seems to be easy going if you are well trained. I agree with the others , auotland is not needed here!

[camilobeze]

this is not CAT III

@flightTime123 "Faggot, show a little respect" Gee, hope you don't want to be a pilot kid, you'll get no where with that attitude. flightTime wasn't being disrespectful, he was just stating the truth - airline pilots often land in conditions like this.

I doubt anyone could land in these conditions under VFR without breaking VFR cloud and visibility rules. I wouldn't be prepared to risk my life (and my CPL) to find out

@shiftysbrother there aren't fake and real cat 3 conditions. zero/zero is a Cat 3C, this was more or less a CAT3B
