Just curious.. .did you do this as a training exercise or because you
intended to use these privileges?

Both -- I was looking for a challenge. It certainly made flying a CAT I
approach a piece of cake.


Do you keep the privileges up?

I did for a number of years when I was based at ASH. I haven't in the past
few years since being based at EPM


Did you ever actually land when weather was less than Cat I minimums?

Just once. But more importantly, I was able to depart BGR on a flight to
BOS when BOS was closed to a/c unless they were authorized for an RVR of
1200.
