Your reference to the Ariana accident at Gatwick, ....good call. Essential reading for any pilot who operates down to 'minimums' for a living.
As a 150hr PPL, I managed to read the report the month it was published.
Much of it I couldn't understand at the time, but on re-reading it sometime later, I was able to take on board a number of lessons that could be gleaned from it. These I carried with me through my next 15K hours and in to retirement.
I think sometime after this accident 'state minimum RVR's' were introduced in the U.K.
