MD80 going into MSY with 300 overcast and a mile at 400 ft in turbulence autopilot clicked off
Having flown into New Orleans countless times, there are a few things I can say about it...
The place doesn't typically suffer from weather such as the type that causes continuous rain, fog or haze. It does however suffer day-long pounding rain, thunderstorms and similar weather.
So, since the turbulence was severe enough to "click off" the autopilot, therefore clearly indicating significant and hazardous weather, my question is...
What the F_@& were you doing flying an approach in it??? I at least hope that you're going to tell us that you were on the runway 01 approach???
