Yeah, Cat II. It's pretty interesting actually how we do it. Not sure other airlines procedures, but we use a "monitored approach." I, as the FO, fly the approach, and the missed approach... however, at 100 feet, if the captain sees the runway, he takes over the controls and lands.

Last night was awesome. First landing in the jet was simulated single engine at night. Did some local IFR work, shooting three ILS approaches and one VOR approach. There was some weather about 20 miles or so away from airport, just kinda sitting out there... had a nice light show to the south during our vectors to the north.

Gotta commute to CLE tomorrow to start a 4-day on Thursday. Hopefully our hotels will have wireless internet!!
