BA train for all categories both in initial conversion, and recurrent training. It costs no more to train for a Cat 3A approach as for a Cat 3B approach.. .I can only speak for the 747-400, but we operate to 100m and No DH for Cat 3B, and 200m and 50ft DH for Cat 3A. I believe that the 777 has similar limits. Autolands are mandatory in RVRs of less than 550m.. .I find your story about the runway change hard to believe. For the aircraft to require a Cat 3B approach the RVR would have had to have been less than 200m. Could you please tell me which day this was, and were all the other aircraft getting in OK with this RVR?
