On ultra long haul operations many a time you would never get away unless you applied a procedure like this and then use some common sense. Most of the time when the Vis is below landing minima, flight dispatch will plan us to an enroute airport that is close to the scheduled destination and has weather above the landing minima. Also at the planning stage we must have an alternate that meets the alternate planning minima. When we refile in-flight, the scheduled destination must meet the landing minima and it’s alternate must meet the planning minima. Remember when the flight plans are being compiled, the flight may not arrive at the scheduled destination for 20 to 24 hours.
