True, but in this case there was nothing wrong with the F-16 except the stick actuator.

when you come back around to land, you are in 0 vis situation. you can't see squat. You shoot the ILS, and upon DH, no sight of lights/runway anything, way too foggy.

what would you do? go miss, and risk losing the engine that is barely alive and plop back down to earth, or continue the approach and hope you land where you need to land?

This is freaky!

This was our normal sim training profile. The only difference is that we did nonprecision ones, too.

Answer: (Turn around) Can you reset us to the FAF and let's try that one again....

Low vis takeoff at your company's mins...that's why you'd go. And your Departure alternate could be 250 miles away. Good times.

you call failures as you see them..that'd be a master warning..it would show up on the bells and whistles of EICAS

if you're at DA and it's zero zero..if the needles are centered...you're going..you should've already declared an emergency whne the first engine went on takeoff..and should've requested re vectors to final...so you go shoot hte approach..and you break the rules cause of 91.3

I know this is an old thread, but...

Fire in one engine, shut down.
Fire other engine with thrust and airborn....

(Remebering "Fate is the Hunter") Get confirmation from the cabin crew there IS a fire anywhere...... could be false indications....

Where am I? If this is So Cal, make a turn inland and get out of the junk to ONT or somewhere abouts that region cause you should be getting some performance around SL.

Down to one engine and its still spitting flames? ILS to the ground. No sense in going back up into the crap. When glide slope and a hud should suffice to get it back in as few pieces as possible.

Hit APPR mode on the autopilot...and slam it onto the markers. It's a gaurenteed hit!...Unless your sim instructor is trying to be an jerk and he/she fails the Glideslope...then just use VS mode

what are the minimum visibility requirements for a twin engined aircraft in 121?

I have this memory in my head that a 0/0 take off is not legal in part 121, but it is legal in part 91. Yes? No?

Youre right on the 91 stuff. 0/0 and youre not only pushing it, but youre legal

As for how 121 goes, I believe (someone double check me here)...
2 engines its 1 mile, 3 or more engines its 1/2 mile
