We discontinued Cat.IIIa operations in 2002.

It required Autopilots A, B and C operating and Autoland.
"Decision" to land or missed approach was made at "Alert Height" 50 ft.
All I recall, is that we needed 200 (or 250?) meters RVR, there was no DH.
The planes were equipped with LRCU as required for Cat.IIIb., but no 747 Classic was ever Cat.IIIb.

And for Cat.II requires 2 autopilots to operate, for 100' DH.
If only 1 autopilot operating, our Cat.II increased and becomes 150' DH.

Happy contrails
