Tor, what you describe is called a contact approach in the USA and is limited to one mile/1600m visibility. To maneuver to land with 800m vis would to me seem foolhardy indeed, unless you are in a helicopter or the Goodyear blimp....but hey, different strokes for different folks. But don't try it in a jet, the chief pilot may well have...objections.
