A bit like the PX Boeing fleet office giving tasid approval to conduct Autolands in POM below the CAT 1 minima in preference to diverting.

As we all know conducting LVO operations involves far more than just aircraft capability. Not withstanding the POM ILS is only CAT 1.

All in the name of getting the job done.

And yes I agree time will tell.
My apologies. I misunderstood.

Autolands in POM in sub Cat 1 conditions? Yikes.Now that is a seriously stupid way to try and save the cost of a diversion.

So according the PX press release, so it looks like it was an undershoot and a near perfect water landing that even Sully would have been proud of.🤪
