You can be my wingman any time.

If however the TTF has gone to INTER or TEMPO BN 0500 when I know that I can still get in off a CAT 1 ILS
Fair enough, I won't labour my point on that situation. It's FG and TS that I lose sleep over. And BKN 0500 doesn't turn into FG. FG and TS are the events that the BOM regularly under-forecast. And those are the events that can eat aeroplanes.
