wrong..
hi - you´re not right on your statement:
"I used to fly the same type of AC in airline ops as I do now for a huge bizjet operator, airline was CATIIIA with HUGS and now we are back in the stone age with CATI only."
HUGS? I assume you mean HUDS? Anyway they are not required for a CAT III approach IIRC. Many of the older airliners with autoland did not have HUDS. As for your comment on the same type you flew in the airlines and now in the corporate world, do you mean the B737 BBJ? If so why did Boeing not certify its BBJ to CAT III minimums?"""
HUGS - Head up guidance system - (BBD terminology)
CRJ200 is approved for CATIIIa ops without autopilot and without autoland -it´s a verly reliable system.
CAT II: our CL850 is CAT II approved since 2010, as well as the Global -
apart from lower minima, this gives you more choices for alternate planning as well (flying both..)
