Not flaming you here, but I'm kinda curious where you shot an approach and landed when the RVR was reporting 800. Did I read that correctly? I'm curious if that was what your "flight visibilty" and if the tower was open when you pulled that stunt.
I also did some d^&bS$%T as a freight pilot, but nothing that would have got me violated. You are smart enough to know that part 91 is absolutely meaningless when it comes to landing after an instrument approach. Pushing the limits in the manner that you have admitted to doesn't necessarily elicit respect, but more like reflection of when I did stupid things in an airplane...So, again no flames, but think twice before you feel like you need to "push it" for absolutely notihng but bragging rights at the crashpad.
Regards,
ex-Navy Rotorhead that has lost more friends in aircraft than I care to admit
I understand your intent may not be to flame but I do detect a slight demeaning tone in your reply with comments like "when you pulled that stunt" and "at least you are smart enough to know". With your boundless experience sir, I'm sure you know that what the transmissometer says is not always 100% correct. I know 321 and I am sure that he would do nothing to put himself, his certificate, or the airplane at risk. I am also one to believe that I nor anyone else has the right to question another pilot's descision unless I am also sitting in the front seat.
