So, you shot a contact approach with 1200RVR being reported? Not good. I remember chewing a few freight dawgs out about doing questionable stuff like that. Doesn't matter what you see, if it's below mins, it's below mins...especially for a contact approach.

I know, you're probably Part 91, but if the FAA gets a bug up their proverbial rear, it could be bad for you. Just FYI, not trying to be a prick or anything...just be careful, especially with the "paper friendly" FAA.
