When will this nation wake up to realities and adjust accordingly.
The real thing is CAT IIIc. That would come to use at airports such as LHE as the visibility remains none throughout the night.
CAT3C (RVR=0, DH=0) is not operational anywhere in the world (if i am not wrong). The best one gets is Cat3b, due to legal, technical safety and operational reasons.

III/B is good enough when it comes to landings, decision height can be zero with that too and very low RVR. The problem is getting aircraft to vacate the runway and find their way to the gate in low visibility, especially at very busy airports like major hubs. The technology is there, it's the pakistani authorities' failure to implement it that's causing these delays.


Note how the runway on really comes in sight after touchdown (main gear is already on the ground when you hear one of the crew say 'speed brakes up').

yes AUTOLAND can touch down landing runway during FOG no problem but how can you see taxiway to terminal through fog? nobody escort aircraft from runway to terminal due to risk avoid collision accident damage?

Thai Airways Flight TG345 is on Final Approach for LHE.
Lahore Airport's Website shows Flight delay for Friday 2PM but actually it seems to land now right on schedule time.
Maybe the weather conditions has become better now.
