Its like if the visibility starts reporting 1/8 a mile AFTER you pass the final approach fix and its a cat 1 approach. If once you get down there and you see the runway you can land. you just created your own visibility report for yourself and it was good enough to continue and land.
I dont know about that.
A. I dont believe "we" are weather people. You can not just start reporting your own conditions
B. According to our OP Specs (ASA), for departure and arrivals, you can get temps from a nearby source. Ceilings are only required for instrument procedures. Wind can be missing for DEPARTURES, where you takeoff into the wind according to the wind sock.
C. everything else is required.
