100PP,

No use to us who fly for airlines who prohibit the "Arizona approach". CDFA is the norm now, outside of Arizona.
There has been a lot of discussion about automation, but the last time I checked one of the largest US airlines handflies all approaches including CAT3A using the HUD. It is my understanding that handflying is part of their culture.
