Narrative:
I was approaching jnu on the lda 109.9. At 4 mi out of 2200', I could see the approach lights and the airport area through broken clouds. The missed approach point is at 10000' MSL and 2 mi. I could still see the approach lights. We continued the approach. At 1/2 mi the fog was shifting and momentarily obscured our view of the airport. We were well inside the missed approach point at this time, so I said to continue the approach. I feel that the situation developed too fast to see it early. The approach looked better in terms of WX at 4 mi than it did at 2 mi. Plan for the worst and think missed approach on every approach and one should not get stuck.

Title: ACR MLG LOST THE APCH ENVIRONMENT AFTER PASSING THE MISSED APCH POINT, BUT CONTINUED DESCENT TO LNDG.
Narrative: I WAS APCHING JNU ON THE LDA 109.9. AT 4 MI OUT OF 2200', I COULD SEE THE APCH LIGHTS AND THE ARPT AREA THROUGH BROKEN CLOUDS. THE MISSED APCH POINT IS AT 10000' MSL AND 2 MI. I COULD STILL SEE THE APCH LIGHTS. WE CONTINUED THE APCH. AT 1/2 MI THE FOG WAS SHIFTING AND MOMENTARILY OBSCURED OUR VIEW OF THE ARPT. WE WERE WELL INSIDE THE MISSED APCH POINT AT THIS TIME, SO I SAID TO CONTINUE THE APCH. I FEEL THAT THE SITUATION DEVELOPED TOO FAST TO SEE IT EARLY. THE APCH LOOKED BETTER IN TERMS OF WX AT 4 MI THAN IT DID AT 2 MI. PLAN FOR THE WORST AND THINK MISSED APCH ON EVERY APCH AND ONE SHOULD NOT GET STUCK.
