[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2516101, member: 24583"] It can be very common if you have an instrument rating and are flying an aircraft that has the proper equipment. To make a flight that you can not follow visual flight rules, (See the Ground) you have to be instrument rated, current with your "practice" and file an instrument flight plan so the aircraft control system knows where you are in relation to other aircraft. Most airports have one of more various procedures for landing in overcast conditions where you can come down to 400, 500, or 600ft above the runway elevation depending on the airport and the equipment installed in your aircraft. At that point off the end of the runway you have to have visual sight of the runway to land or fly somewhere else. This is the same requirements for large and small private aircraft, again depending on the equipment installed in your aircraft. At many major airports used by airliners there is usually more precise equipment installed, and the minimum altitude is generally 200ft above the surface. Navigation aids for aircraft are very precise, you have to learn to fly your aircraft with that precision also. That is why there is so much training required to get an IFR license and there is a lot of ongoing practice required to keep you current to be safe. Flying a precise path while descending on a precise sloped course to put you at a point just off the end of the end of the runway at the correct elevation with only the instruments in front of you is a challenge. Popping out of the clouds seeing that you are lined up with the runway to sit down on is your only option in mind. [/QUOTE]
