Narrative:

ATIS reported WX at 3/4 SM for the ILS in use. WX minimums for the ILS are 1/2 SM. On the approach, we saw the approach lights and runway at 300-400 ft AGL. Several mins after landing, I realized that as a new PIC with less than 100 hours in the aircraft, I forgot to apply higher minimums to the approach. The requirement to add 1/2 SM made the minimums for the approach 1 SM. I was actually 1/4 SM below approach minimums. A few factors contributed to not remembering to apply the higher minimums. These factors can be reduced to a poor use of available resources, a high cockpit workload, being too comfortable with forecasted and current WX, a lack of experience with the high minimum requirement. In retrospect, a more effective use of resources would have given both the PF and PNF a better opportunity to recall the higher minimum requirement. I could have used many other resources to get the current WX instead of waiting for ATIS during the final stage of arrival.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: AN E145 RESTR CAPT MADE AN APCH TO AND LANDED BELOW HIS RESTR MINIMUMS.

Narrative: ATIS RPTED WX AT 3/4 SM FOR THE ILS IN USE. WX MINIMUMS FOR THE ILS ARE 1/2 SM. ON THE APCH, WE SAW THE APCH LIGHTS AND RWY AT 300-400 FT AGL. SEVERAL MINS AFTER LNDG, I REALIZED THAT AS A NEW PIC WITH LESS THAN 100 HRS IN THE ACFT, I FORGOT TO APPLY HIGHER MINIMUMS TO THE APCH. THE REQUIREMENT TO ADD 1/2 SM MADE THE MINIMUMS FOR THE APCH 1 SM. I WAS ACTUALLY 1/4 SM BELOW APCH MINIMUMS. A FEW FACTORS CONTRIBUTED TO NOT REMEMBERING TO APPLY THE HIGHER MINIMUMS. THESE FACTORS CAN BE REDUCED TO A POOR USE OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES, A HIGH COCKPIT WORKLOAD, BEING TOO COMFORTABLE WITH FORECASTED AND CURRENT WX, A LACK OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE HIGH MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. IN RETROSPECT, A MORE EFFECTIVE USE OF RESOURCES WOULD HAVE GIVEN BOTH THE PF AND PNF A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO RECALL THE HIGHER MINIMUM REQUIREMENT. I COULD HAVE USED MANY OTHER RESOURCES TO GET THE CURRENT WX INSTEAD OF WAITING FOR ATIS DURING THE FINAL STAGE OF ARR.
