Ignition Override--At our "silver" airline, using "red and white" proceedures(still) we just add the full gust factor. Anyone who uses auto-throttles on any approach other than Cat II/III either has no confidence in their abilities or hasn't been bitten yet!

I just switched from the 717 to the -80 and didn't trust either system in any kind of windy conditions. Just my opinion, though.
Some guys flew the A/T's on the 717 all the way to landing even on good days. Oh, well...TC

P.S.--How hot are the "turquoise ovens" gonna get this summer with that door closed all the time?
