I believe, correct me if I am wrong, ASA doesn't allow "Night Visuals" at certain airports until you have been vectored onto final. I believe ROA has this, and is mostly likely due to mountainous terrain. (ie AVL too????)
I believe some other operators have this restriction too.
Hmm. Yup, my tongue in cheek rant about "FMS" and trying to make a "thinking outside the box" connection failed miserably, much like when a reporter draws a total blank when the TelePrompTer fails. Fuggetaboudit.
But here's a real question (eventually): It's my understanding that OpSpecs are essentially cobbled together out of a long list of available items. Is this true? Because PDT's explicity forbids us from cancelling IFR prior to landing at an uncontrolled field. It totally hamstrings us (if adhered to), and I was wondering who else operates under the same goofy rule.
Here's another one: You're landing at an uncontrolled field at night. ASOS is reporting 1/4 in fog. You picked up the field 30 miles out, and can see the entire airport from the traffic pattern... Can you land?
A little tangent, I've had it report 3sm AND picked up the runway 30 miles out and everything was gravy until the flare.
