Dummyrun,
Re-reading my post, it's badly worded. I don't *know* that they do but am under the impression this happens from chatting to close friends who are RN pilots.
I'll happily accept what you guys say on this one - you're the experts. Me, I fix big computers.
The situation that prompted my question was thus: I was flying into Stansted (Ryanair from Biarritz) on Monday evening and was diverted to Bournemouth
"due to adverse weather conditions" which later turned out to be fog.. Rumour flying around that the pilot wasn't qualified to land in fog and some people were a bit miffed that Ryan Air were using under qualified pilots. I realise this is chinese whispers (and likely rubbish) and should be treated as such but it got me thinking about how you define fog and whether indeed *any*of you guys land in fog and why/why not.
My curiosity is now satiated - thanks. Keep up the good work.
Jim..
PS Where does a 737-800 fit in to this matrix of ILS??
