Returning an a/c to Cat 3 capability
I'm curious to know what the rules (JAA) require in order to re-certify an a/c (for arguments sake lets say a 737) for Cat 2/3 operations, having been previously Cat 1 compliant?
Is it sufficient to demonstrate an autoland to a Cat 2/3 facility, regardless of whether or not conditions are actually Cat2/3?
Would it be acceptable to demonstrate an autoland to a Cat 1 facility in VMC?
I contend absolutely not.
I've looked at ACJ AWO 231 in JAR - AWO.....
