Narrative:

This flight originated at sat airport at XA00 am local time. Prior to department I consumed a breakfast of eggs, 2 cans of apple juice, and 1 glass of milk, unknowing to me, it was this early meal which would case problems at hrl airport. The first leg, sat to lrd airport, was uneventful, after a 5 (five) min stop at lrd, I departed for hrl and became aware of poor and deteriorating WX at the airport. About 35 mi northwest of the hrl airport, I began experiencing severe stomach discomfort. With no immediate remedy at hand, I continued the flight and hoped this discomfort would go away. Closer to the airport, my discomfort not only persisted but I was advised that the visibility at hrl airport was now at 1/4 mi. At this time, I was 5 mi outside of the marker and about 30 seconds from picking up the localizer. I elected to attempt the approach without the required visibility (per far 135) for these reasons: 1) my stomach pain continued and I wanted to land before it worsened or incapacitated me. 2) visibility reports by hrl tower are usually not very accurate, thus leading me to believe I could make it in. 3) my forward flight visibility above the clouds was very good. I attempted the approach, and went 'missed approach' after not seeing the runway, I immediately proceeded to bro airport and landed, and went to the bathroom as soon as possible. Lessons learned - watch what you eat before a flight and don't be compromised by stomach upset - it may lead you into bigger problems if you lower your own safety standards.

Title: SMA CARGO ACFT PLT IN PHYSICAL DISTRESS CONTINUES APCH WHEN WX GOES BELOW MINS.

Narrative: THIS FLT ORIGINATED AT SAT ARPT AT XA00 AM LCL TIME. PRIOR TO DEPT I CONSUMED A BREAKFAST OF EGGS, 2 CANS OF APPLE JUICE, AND 1 GLASS OF MILK, UNKNOWING TO ME, IT WAS THIS EARLY MEAL WHICH WOULD CASE PROBS AT HRL ARPT. THE FIRST LEG, SAT TO LRD ARPT, WAS UNEVENTFUL, AFTER A 5 (FIVE) MIN STOP AT LRD, I DEPARTED FOR HRL AND BECAME AWARE OF POOR AND DETERIORATING WX AT THE ARPT. ABOUT 35 MI NW OF THE HRL ARPT, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING SEVERE STOMACH DISCOMFORT. WITH NO IMMEDIATE REMEDY AT HAND, I CONTINUED THE FLT AND HOPED THIS DISCOMFORT WOULD GO AWAY. CLOSER TO THE ARPT, MY DISCOMFORT NOT ONLY PERSISTED BUT I WAS ADVISED THAT THE VISIBILITY AT HRL ARPT WAS NOW AT 1/4 MI. AT THIS TIME, I WAS 5 MI OUTSIDE OF THE MARKER AND ABOUT 30 SECONDS FROM PICKING UP THE LOC. I ELECTED TO ATTEMPT THE APCH WITHOUT THE REQUIRED VISIBILITY (PER FAR 135) FOR THESE REASONS: 1) MY STOMACH PAIN CONTINUED AND I WANTED TO LAND BEFORE IT WORSENED OR INCAPACITATED ME. 2) VISIBILITY RPTS BY HRL TWR ARE USUALLY NOT VERY ACCURATE, THUS LEADING ME TO BELIEVE I COULD MAKE IT IN. 3) MY FORWARD FLT VISIBILITY ABOVE THE CLOUDS WAS VERY GOOD. I ATTEMPTED THE APCH, AND WENT 'MISSED APCH' AFTER NOT SEEING THE RWY, I IMMEDIATELY PROCEEDED TO BRO ARPT AND LANDED, AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. LESSONS LEARNED - WATCH WHAT YOU EAT BEFORE A FLT AND DON'T BE COMPROMISED BY STOMACH UPSET - IT MAY LEAD YOU INTO BIGGER PROBS IF YOU LOWER YOUR OWN SAFETY STANDARDS.
