Yes I am well aware of that and if you wish to take that risk in deteriorating visibility that’s your choice but you will have a lot of difficulty explaining why you bent an aircraft and wound up on the front page of every newspaper in this country if you get unlucky.

Singapore’s runway excursion in Munich would be a good example of what can go wrong if you want to take the risk.
