re: CAT 3a autoland and sissy

.....and calls for intense monitoring and Go Around mindedness.
No different than any approach in the WX....CAT 1, 2 or 3 or GPS or VOR or BC LOC, or (gasp) NDB, etc.

The procedure is not a handling one....
I would assume neither is 'kissing your sister'.

The point being that unless you're inputting system malfunctions, the simulator will not screw up an autoland....not that CAT 3 procedural training is not important and of value (including SMGCS and ground ops).

The sim is basically a 'closed loop' not associated with the fear and randomness existing in the real world flying business.
