How many airports with an ILS are going to clear you for the approach under zero zero?
How many are going to stop you if you have no choice?

Nothing in aviation is guaranteed to be what you plan for.

So lets assume you have been out for the last hour doing recurrent training in your Navajo and for the last approach you put a map in front of you so you cant see the runway and you and the training Captain brief a zero zero touch down the same as you would brief a PMA.

If everything goes well you will touch down on the runway with safety distances and on the pavement, if it is getting to far off a safe approach the PNF only has to verbally and physically take control and either miss the approach or land it.

During those few seconds all you have to do is reach up and remove the map to see how far you had gotten off a doable approach and landing.

What is wrong with that?
