Approach Minimums

Hi Guys,

How did the crew do this approach legally when the minimums were 300 feet and the reported ceiling was 200 feet?

Would they have just shot it anyway and hoped to see some sort of the runway environment from the MAP at MDA even though they would have been 100' into the clouds? Would they crank up the lights on a day like this in Sumburgh?

I'm curious if they intentionally descended below approach minimums after levelling off because they were still in cloud or just descended straight through MDA into the water in one go?
