Ah, bull****. He had the runway in sight, descended and landed. What's
the problem?

It depends on the missing information in the phrase:

I descend 166 feet and am able to remain just under the cloud deck

John, if this had actually happened, could you see the runway all the time
during that descent?


Yes i did. And then flew the pattern and landed, with the runway clearly in
sight at all times.

Thanks!
