OR T is a CAT II rated airport, so the (instrument) decision making point, in poor visibility, is >350m at 30-60m above ground level.

Having never landed a plane, I can’t imagine the speed difference between a bicycle and a plane, and having to make a decision at that speed.

My BIL used to be a flying school instructor at Grand Central. Many moons ago whilst still dating my wife we arranged a flight from GC to Sun City in a small 6 seater for her birthday.

On the return leg I was co-pilot. Coming in to land at GC there was very low lying fog/mist. He brought the plane down on instruments and experience. We eventually pushed through the fog and had some visibility just before the wheels touched the ground.

Was a real eye opener for me.

Nice Tokai ride  👌🏻

They've neatened up the entrance to DH3 (removed foliage) and smoothed out the last exit bit of DH2.

Planned route was 49.9, but a couple left turns were closed (boomed off area). 

I could totally nail this one from where i live.

Was kinda treacherous up at the Berms, Broken Road, Beast, Super Tubes (whatever you call it). There was a blown down tree in the path and loose rocks to add to the fun. 

It didn't detract from a great Friday ride though.
