Well, I call that 'reductio ad absurdum' - and I debated not replying, but....

1) Unless you are suggesting Leuchars with both ILS and PAR off on 09 when ATC (in my day) may have allowed that, I cannot see any civil airport doing so in that weather. "Runway in use 27 - take it or leave it". SATCO would be having kittens. Keflavik or others in reasonable weather, yes

2) If 1) pertains, then obviously I would establish what ATC wanted for a g/a since I would be flying against the traffic/runway in use, and would in any case probably NOT be able to g/a into a visual circuit with your quoted 'Haar' over Tentsmuir. Again, since it would be a g/a into an ILS 27, ATC need to be in the loop.

Altogether, DFC, a bit of a wildie!

(In fact, I'd probably have been off to Lossie or Edinburgh on the usual 'fumes')
