zero-zero

Completely tied scoreless

Zero-zero describes weather conditions with zero visibility and zero ceiling—fog or clouds so thick that pilots cannot see the runway or sky.

A zero-zero approach requires advanced instruments and training.

In military contexts, zero-zero also describes ejection seats designed to save pilots even at zero altitude and zero airspeed.
