IMC Club
IMC Question of the Month: You are flying an instrument approach to a familiar airport and runway and the ceiling is at minimums. Nearing the runway, you recognize the river and a street that leads directly to the runway. With these landmarks in sight, can you safely descend below minimums?

Answer: The short answer is "No." Even though it is a familiar approach, descending below minimums puts you at risk of collision with unseen obstacles, equipment, and terrain. According to FAR 91.175(c), a pilot may descend below authorized Decision Altitude or Minimum Descent Altitude on an instrumental approach only if all of the following conditions are met simultaneously:
1. Position for Normal Descent
2. Visibility Requirement (at or above minimums)
3. Visual Reference Requirements: Runway threshold/markings and/or approved lighting in sight
