RESA

Quote:”It’s published as a CAT I, why did you do a coupled CAT III landing . . . got away with it before, let's try it again"?

I don’t think that you fully understand what we do. The airplane doesn’t know a CAT I from a CAT III, furthermore pilots wouldn’t even plan an approach using CAT III critique on a Cat I approach. That would be sort of irresponsible don’t you think?

There are a few supposedly certified CAT III approaches in the world that I wouldn’t do a real CAT II on let alone a real CAT III due to the poor maintenance of the facility. It’s obvious to me that you’ve never experienced a real CAT III or understand the planning that goes into one; otherwise you would never make such a foolish statement.
