C-SAR
Coming home, I know my base.
Lets' land on 09, I know my procedure.
Weather is not too bad (2000-5000 viz reported)
Shoot the procedure, all ok
Then at MDA look out and... the runway is not where it is supposed to be!! - Instead there is a white wall of mist and the sun blinding me...
A moment hesitation... decide to go around.... but too late
Yep, have to agree with this. TOGA selected but no transition to the Vertical hence the debris spread far and wide. Dirty windscreen would exacerbate the problem. Faced the same met conditions a few times going into Tripoli.

Aircraft following went around and landed on rwy 27 and only just got in at minimas.
