Lex Fridman discussed the complications of piloting and landing in harsh weather conditions, especially during a zero landing scenario where poor visibility due to bad weather makes it extremely challenging for pilots to land safely on a boat. The scenario described involves landing in conditions where neither the pilot nor the landing officer can see each other well, and the landing officer has to guide the pilot using only taxi lights and verbal communication. This intense situation highlights the skills and coordination required to handle such challenging conditions 1.
