Good job this piston jockey was not IMC then.
True, but at 1500m/200ft in mist, you've only got to glance at the ASI/altimeter/whatever for a second and you're in it, and in unexpected IMC in those conditions, you're as good as dead.
There is no law that prohibits anyone from executing an approach when the ceiling is below MDH
Hmmm...isn't there something that says, thou shall not descend below 1000' on an approach if the airfield is below your minimums?
