Civil commercial passenger AOC operation.
In anger means it wasn't a training flight.
Why is it high risk?
And when I said nice wx I meant somewhere that you would still think was bloody horrible but is all part of life as a commercial pilot.
Its only high risk if you don't have an escape plan, I think I had three that day. Two alternates and I had enough fuel on to hold for 15 mins and still return back to my departure with an alternate there and reserve fuel.
And to add the controllers need to stay current an approach a week or two something like that. I never ever had a "no thanks" when we offered to accept one when early and even if we did need an ILS to get us below MSA 50% of the time they would ask us to do a PAR for controller currency.
I think the mil mins off one are below 100ft.
