Where do you look on rotation when the RVR is 150m?
TyroPicard, special circumstances require special techniques.

E.g. a CAT3 approach requires an autoland. That doesn't mean that we have to do autolands on every approach.

Likewise, for a low visibility takeoff a special rotation technique is required and, by the way, captains only takeoff.

For taking off in normal visibility conditions (aka not low visibility), which is what the first officer in question should have been trained for, a conventional rotation should be made = looking out the window!
