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.

very cool. A hero of an AC
I would like to see the Pilot still in a job after attempting a CAT111 with a hand job on a 747 (with no ILS) the joker who said he could do that. !! well say no more.
I'v flown HARRIER JUMPS, and would not land in CAT111 in Sea Mist on a CARRIER with out ILS. The best inventions to date for saftey for Crew & passengers is ILS, TCAS & TAWS.
For the sake of the Passengers that read this TWITTER, the only time we would do a CAT111
Landing today with a Fog Vis of 200mtrs would be in extream emergency, otherwise we would be put to Divert to another Airport
