@Secret Squirrel personally, if I'm flying into IFR, I wouldn't trust trying to go from base to final wearing a blindfold without nothing more than a VOR. But then again, I'm addicted to living. Let's say you have nothing but an altimeter, and an attitude. Your attitude will change very quickly if your depending on just an altimeter and a compass to find an airport without being able to see the ground. That's when it's a good time to squawk!

@@aviator1111I can only speak confidently in regards to airlines, being one for 10 years. All require landing in the touchdown zone, first 3000 or 1/3. All our landing performance data that makes every landing legal is based on that, if you float beyond it, mandatory go around. As for GA, it is at best, sloppy. You are assuming your brakes are going to work perfectly, there's no contaminates, no traffic behind you, and you are adding risk, reducing safety, all to save 2 mins of taxi time by holding it off a few thousand feet. Would never, ever fly at any airline. Airlines have a division called FOQA that will analyze all data from the FDR black box and it tells on the pilots if they land beyond the TDZ. then you get a call and have to fill out paperwork to protect yourself and your license.

chasing the “rabbit”. beautiful

Wow

Friends Business partner, who didnt have perfect communications with atc, landed 200 feet short of the runway n lost his and a friends lives a few years ago. now i can get what fog looks like. Being from nevada, I never had any first hand experience with fog or the concept of "visibility" it is always so damn clear here.

The craziest landing I ever had was in Terace BC on Boxing Day. In a blizzard 🌨️. The pilot turned the lights on and all I could see was white. We hit the runway so hard and bounced up. Going Way too fast. So he pinned the throttle to try and take off again. We barely cleared the trees at the end of the runway. Second time around. There was so much snow, we couldn’t taxi to the building. So everyone had to get out and walk in a foot of snow. I do not recommend.

Single pilot IMC is rough. Good job

That's was a hell of a smooth landing in VFR conditions, let alone that you didn't see the pavement until about 100' or so from the ground. I can imagine that someone who doesn't handle it particularly frequently could find it quite a scary experience to go down that low... I hope you had plenty of better alternates at least

Actually, almost correct. Having them in sight allows you to drop to 100' above TDZE. Usually, it's the same thing due to 200' minimums being so common, but not always

With low visibility conditions my main fear would be having a very high descent rate and landing short. Besides that, very smooth landing sir, that’s the advantage of being in a smaller aircraft, you can use as much of the runway as you want as long as it’s a very long runway!
