Seat OA: I agree with you about the weather. I'm a bit puzzled because,as I said ,tne OM says 20 kt crosswind for dual chanel if CAT 2 or 3 app executed.
Why was this phrase required? I know the cat ! ils won't give the protective area as a cat 2or 3,thus maybe some restrictions on performing autoland on cat 1?
Are you doing autolands on cat 1 app?
I did few autolands,maybe less than a dozen per year,all on cat 2 conditions.
I also agree with you about the 400,also the 800 series.But what about the 3/7 series. You'll be surprised,but I know of autolands made at 40 kt's xwind,perfectly done by the plane.(700).There were ,of course,on test flights.
And you didn't answer my question.Some numbers would've been ok.
Thks
Alex
