Amazing that QF have managed to keep this one out of the media.
Any word on whether the HUD was in use and what that actually portrays?
That could have made a huge difference in QF getting in.
Hopefully the heat is put on the respective airports to get CAT II everywhere after this debacle.
The Virgin aircraft then conducts a missed approach after the Qantas aircraft had landed. I guess they were very lucky the fog cleared enough in those few minutes that they only had to 'bust' the minima by 150 feet because both before and after their landing other aircraft couldn't get in.
I have done a visual approach landed easily no worries, and the fog bank rolls over and the guys 5 miles behind goes around. It is not out of the realms of possibility.
