Fog puts a bit of a dampener on procedings. Depending on your equipment on board.

CAT 1 machines are about 250m viz for takeoff and 550m for landing depending on the airport

And a min viz takeoff is very interesting. If you have seen buck rodgers when they takeoff in there fighters. Lots of lights wizzing down your pheripal vision then rotate then super quick onto the instruments.

As a low hour FO i used to be gung ho and want to do them on my sector. Now, let the captain earn his extra pay.
