This is interesting!! Just want to know if it is an accepted thought process in present day aircraft and operators? Would others give their view pl.
I remember flying a CAT I approach with Wx very close to the minima. Ceiling about 200' and very bad visibility due to rain. (I remember only seeing some approach and runway lights)
It was a CAT IIIB rwy, but LVP were not yet in progress. Ofcourse this means that CAT III Dual will be indicated on the FMA when both AP's are on.
During my briefing, the captain (TRI/Training Manager) reminded me of the fact that I could leave the AP on until 80' at the latest.
So no restriction from my company to leave the AP on below minima, as long as we follow the Airbus limitations.
