Single-pilot operations can be much more challenging because the pilot must continue to fly by the instruments while attempting to acquire a visual reference ... divide their attention between the instruments and visual references, it is even more critical for the single- pilot operation. The flight visibility must also be at least the visibility minimum stated on the instrument approach chart, or as required…

Obstacle clearance is provided to allow a momentary descent below DA while transitioning from the final approach to the missed approach.

critical period of an instrument approach, particularly during low ceiling/visibility conditions, is the point at which the pilot must decide whether to land or execute a missed approach. As the runway threshold is approached, the visual glidepath separates into individual ... continued by reference to the runway touchdown zone markers. The approach lighting system (ALS) provides lights that will penetrate the atmosphere far enough from touchdown to give directional, distance, and glidepath information for safe visual transition…
