The last plates for Brize that I have to hand (Sep 10) specify auto-coupled approaches to 08 and 26 permited to Cat 1 DH only. Whether or not Cat 3 will be available (at least on 26) will, I suppose, be adressed when a Brize based squadron (KC 30?) finally decides to use the full capability of their aircraft. Remember, the L-1011 has had full cat 3 capability since birth, but the training and admin burden coupled with a healthy dose of technophobia has meant that it's use has been forbiden. I guess its a little too late in the day to go around that particular bouy again, maybee common sense will prevail withthe arrival of all the Airbus wonder jets...
