Well, it may not be to your liking, but EU Ops does allow this procedure. There are high weather minima that apply. It's not something I fancy, but this is from our Ops Manual.
At least one destination alternate must be selected for each IFR flight
unless:
(a) Both:
(i) The duration of the planned flight from take-off to landing or,
in the event of in-flight re-planning does not exceed 6 hours
or, in the event of in flight replanning in accordance with
Section 8.1.7, the remaining flying time to destination does
not exceed 2 hours, and
(ii) Two separate runways are available and usable at the
destination aerodrome and the appropriate weather reports
or forecasts for the destination aerodrome, or any
combination thereof, indicate that for the period from one
hour before until one hour after the expected time of arrival the ceiling will be at least 2000 ft or circling height + 500 ft, whichever is greater, and the visibility will be at least 5km.
You beat me to it Eurotraveller! I've never done it and would approach it with a great deal of caution, but it can be legal given the above. Perhaps FR would like to start the ball rolling.
