This is a CATIIIb landing. CATIIIC is when even after you land, you can not see the runway. It has never been used.
Lowest I've done is 1800 RVR.
Did a Cat. 3C in an A320 Sim.
Makes the heart pound either way
no matter how many times you do it.

WOW that's serious FG
@John Koegh - You are correct that you still need the ILS.
However, John, 200M visibility or less is not an "extreme emergency". Our training allows 150M (500RVR) (75M/150RVR with a HUD) takeoffs and landings as low as 75M (300RVR). Most newer aircraft are capable of landing below what most US airports are certified. Our job is to get the passenger to their destination. Due to costs we can't carry as much hold fuel as we used too but we will still attempt an approach to minimums before diverting. If the approach is certified to 150RVR/75M I'm going to make the attempt.

Got to stand with you there. That's what we get trained for and that's why Mr Honeywell is on most AC.When you get down in that 150m range and less, you are basically there anyway and prettty much all you are doing is having a major gut check and feel the pucker factor go up. If everything goes right, you will probably get down OK. If it is that bad, your problem is going to be on the ground after you get down.
