True. However every airline that I know of use visibility as the controlling factor and the following: If the vis is below min when you arrive at the FAF, you cannot attempt the approach. If it drops below min after arriving at the FAF, you can continue the approach to minimums. |

FAF= Final Approach Fix. It's the point that designates where the final segment of an instrument approach begins.

Here's my favorite gotcha from a few years back:
You and your crew have checked into the hotel and decide to change then meet in the lobby for dinner. Upon coming back down, you see that the captain is wearing a pink dress and high heels. What do you do? |

I honestly haven't the slightest clue, but I would tell the F/O that he has control, go back with my flight attendant(s), and restrain the man (e.g., like what happened with hijackings). The man is a criminal and a druggie, and should be treated as such. After the man is immobile/incapacitated, I would request priority clearance & get my plane on the ground ASAP, and request that the police have a few cruisers standing by at the gate when we arrive. |
I was told that the Crew should not leave the cockpit and to tell the FA to find some passengers to assist her restrain the guy. It might be too dangerous post 9/11 to leave the cockpit in a situation like this.

Remember- your flying the OWNER of the aircraft (who also happens to be a druggie). As such, he hasn't gone through security or dealt with the TSA and isn't your "typical" passenger. What do you do if you don't have an FA or other passenger onboard? Or what if the other passengers are also getting high? |
