any aircraft that can 'do' a single eng'AutoLand in zero vis' conditions isn't all bad.Well that was my statement to people who queried the difference from the 727/320..
PMA approaches developed by british european in the late 50-60's.Had 'checkered' acceptance by BOAC crews after the meld.
Used by some Airforces around the world(Canada)and by Canada3000(military influence??)..The majority of Co's seemed to have adopted Fail operational Autoland,with 2 managers??
The Cat3 'headsup displays'enable the non 'autoland'people to get lower to see...(that should throw the cat among the chickens)
Cheers
