Typically, such planes are equipped with a system that helps pilots land in fog and difficult weather.
The system uses cameras and shows the pilots the landing strip.
The Israeli company Elbit manufactures it.

The plane will be able to fly even without the system. But in difficult weather, the pilots might cancel a landing or divert to another airport.
