From the flight path it appears it overshoot the runway, maybe too fast on the approach. Landing in early morning fog is very risky. In many instances you can not see the wing tips. UCFM has CAT II ILS approach facilities but the weather conditions were more appropiate for a CAT III approach A/P coupled.

In many transport airplanes you cannot see the wing tips on a clear day....especially the 767 no matter how hard you try.....not sure what seeing the wing tips has to do with any of this........
