Same on the Tanker /trooping fleet! Still 200ft/500metres and no no A/L.

In BA we operated the same a/c to 100metres RVR/0 DH
Quite a simple operation, Tech content on Conversion course, a few Sim details, a few sectors under supervision and away you go. Worked every time. Even on the VC10 we got down to Cat111.

What about CatII ? 100ft/300metres every modern a/c can get that, even the TriStar. Just a crew training exercise. Not an A/L, just a sim detail or two and a coupled App to manual landing.
