Does anybody know what British Airways' OM says about the use (or not) of automation?
Every A/C (not pilot) in our fleet has to do 2 autolands/month for the A/C to stay CAT IIIB approved.
the regulations require that we do a hand flown (FD allowed) ILS and at least one NPA using normal SOPs every six month, or each simulator event.
Yeah, that would keep someone current and proficient in hand flying!
Luckily Denti's outfit appears to be smarter than the regulator.
