CR7 has it...anyway on another matter

The Jet2 733 can handle the 32 Cat III ILS, ie 200m TDZ IRVR. Gone a long way to dispelling all that chatter about LBA and fog......however....

...The 757, can do it [Cat III], it does float [I have footage on DVD of a Britannia 757 doing a practice Cat III which floats] however the fact that the 757 is heavier (on a shortish runway) means that LS won't pass the 757 for Cat III approaches in anger.

If I were Mr Parkin I'd be looking at getting Cat II on 14 (if feasible....I'm told it is) and I'd look at what can be done at the 32 end re pulling the threshold back so the Radar-Alt has a chance.....I'm available as a consultant if necessary
