    - Huh weird. I thought ILS allowed planes to land without visibility, but I'm not actually versed in it or know the rules -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:53 2
      - Maybe you still need to be able to see it at the last minute at least to make sure it's clear, even if you use ILS? -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:54 1
        
        This. Every ILS approach has a decision height associated with the approach. At that height, the crew has to make the decision to land or go around - JD Oct 28, 15:29
