Doug wrote: Go MISSED! It is descending below the MDA like this that caused the Gulfstream crash at Aspen. Trying to "stuff it in" they discovered the visibility blocked the runway and they CRASHED and DIED. That was a night approach into an airport that is marginally (at best) an IFR airport. And, it was a jet airplane. A single-engine light aircraft going to a relatively flat-land CAT A/B only airport in the daytime, and with pretty good weather is a very different set of circumstances than what happened at Aspen.
