Pilot lands plane ‘blind’ after hail destroys nose and windshield of aircraft

Congrats to the pilot, but let's not get carried away.

Depending on how advanced the airplane is, it can land on the runway full autoland, and that is what is known as a CAT-IIIC approach, or usually done when visibility is 0 and the ceiling is 0. I'd imagine that is the approach that they performed, as well as the fact that they have side windows that they can look out, however, it would make a much more difficult approach.

That's why we get paid: it's getting you, our most valued customers from point A to B, safely, securely, and comfortably.
