Yes, I figured. That would be an emergency procedure. This isn't an
emergency yet. Don't make it one.

Yes, it's likely that the 396 will do fine. But it may be "less than
fine" in a surprising way, since it hasn't been tested in ways the FAA
considers sufficient. I have issues with the FAA sometimes, but they
also have their good points.

In my hypothetical situation, since his destination was 1000 and 1 mile, I
was fishing for who would (at those rather high minimums) go take a look,
and if not visual by that time, then go elsewhere.

No take-rs, I see.
