I accept that the VA crew deliberately descended below minima as part of their fact finding mission.

I also accept however that the QF crew deliberately descended below minima to try and break visual

One deliberately descended below minima in search of facts the other did in search of the ground.

One found the ground and landed the other got his facts right and landed in zero vis on his second attempt.

No emergencies were declared at that stage. No cabin preps were made at that stage.

So where exactly is the problem.

You cannot simply choose some facts and ignore others just to paint a picture.

Glad about the blood vessels!
