Yea, the image I have is basically "in the ping-pong ball". Yours is a great shot!

Of the 400 odd hours I flew last year, I logged 80 hours of actual in the soup (not on top) with over 60 instrument approaches with almost 20 misses (in my defense, they often send us when its zero-zero and we keep overshooting at the FAF till bingo fuel). Provided we have 1/4 mile reported, we go to 1/2 mile 50' above the deck down to 150' with the radar, and quite often you can't even see the water. The 100 feet and 1/4 comment was regarding back at base, where its regularly calling 100 and 1/4 but we're usually visual at 200' on the ILS. Thank goodness for high-intensity lighting!

I was curious as we had a fellow through here recently that claimed to have not flown that much actual to mins in the North Sea, and I was under the impression that you lads did a fair bit....hence the question!
