But the other day I flew a NP IAP with an MDH of 800ft, in what was VMC with a vis of apparently about 1500m, and only just got visual shortly after reaching the MDH and just before having to go around. It was a good illustration of how difficult flight in 1500m vis can be.
"If you can see two rows of lights that counts as being able to see the runway" I was told.
