Thumbs up 737-800 CAT IIIB Certified?

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and I am just looking for a bit of help.

I am looking at the question "RVR 150m at take-off.. .what would you do?"

My answer was that I would check to ensure that we had sufficient RVR for us to take-off.

After that then, I would need to file a take-off alternate as a take-offalternate is required when the weather at your aerodrome and/or the performancelimitations of your aircraft do not allow you to return to the field for alanding should a return to the field be necessary.

However do I need to do this if I am flying a 737-800?In order for me to return I would need to be able to complete a CAT IIIB approach.

So this led me to my forum question.....Is the Boeing 737-800 certified for CAT IIIB approaches? I know they are certified for CAT IIIA approaches.

Also, on another note, are there many European airports with CAT IIIB certified runways?

Thanks in advance.
