With the disclaimer that I've only flown small aircraft, every flight I've taken in fog, snow, heavy rain, etc. has still had a small window of visibility before the wheels touched the runway. With that windshield, could he tell? It looks like the side windows might be less occluded, so I guess you'd still get some visual reference (though not whether you're "lined up").
- sokoloff 11y agoI don't know the equipment nor Delta's Operational Specs, but Denver has Cat II, Cat IIIa and IIIb approaches to four of their northerly runways. Cat IIIb permits landing with an RVR (runway visibility) of 300 feet and an "alert height" (somewhat similar to a decision height, but not regulatory) of 35 feet. If you're going to put an airplane down with no forward visibility, finding a 150' wide runway with CatIIIb/c minimums is probably the best you can do.
