If he does it, he gets prosecuted.
LookingForAJob, thanks for your reply but I suspect like me, you are slightly behind current procedures in so much that when the Absolute Minima was changed first time, it was because of the invention of EVS which removed the requirement for ATC to 'report' arrivals below the Absolute Minima so it was perfectly legal to land providing the aircraft, crew and other factors met various criteria.

I'm fairly certain now that there is no Absolute Minima and no associated phraseology or requirement to take reporting action like it used to be.

I don't know what the current procedures are in the UK - but if you've read the MATS Pt 1, that tells you what will happen.
It is because of the non existant entry in the MATS Part 1 that has promoted my question.
