Hmmm, scary...

But if there are clouds it is not CAVOK. In a CAVOK daylight (not twilight or anything, plain daylight and you can see the beautiful landscape, the runway and its surroundings, and terrain features and obstacles, and PAPI showing on slope… And always referring to the TERRAIN TERRAIN or TOO LOW TERRAIN only (no pull up alerts) wouldn't you continue?

but I see those are a lot of conditions. In that case it would be worth at least leveling off, if there is no subsequent pull up alert, nor further alerts, and all those conditions are met (specially the on slope PAPI) you might continue. If the alerts continue, a go around if probably the best even if everything seems Ok, since I might be nicely approaching the wrong runway…

Damn, I see it is better just to always trust the voice!
