ATC has absolutely no idea what capability your aircraft has in regards to CAT I, II, or III. Even the latest and greatest aircraft will have issues…..op specs, crew pairings, aircraft downgrade, etc. There (to my knowledge) is nothing on the “strip” to indicate aircraft capability for low vis operations.
Yup...the Commander could have been absolutely correct.
Maybe.
It depends.
We are CATIIIA qualified, enroute to CATIIIB, in short order.
Type, L1011.
The gold standard (yes, even after all these years, the 'ole L1011 was CATIIIB certified, right out of the factory...:ok
Nothing finer.
Doubt?
Ask the folks who fly the aeroplane....
