thanks guys....useful inputs....interesting about the A300 reversion.
i guess i was leaning towards the boeing with it's "ASA" display...to clarify if anything could appear to warrant a reversion to cat II/11/2/two from 111B/A....which i think for the boeing (75/76) it doesnt.....only a possible airfield downgrade could cause the above.
Hope i am correct.
rudderrat....yep, i come from a Tristar background too.....without starting a willy waggling competition, it was a different class in autolands IMHO.
thanks for all the replies.
