With due respect OK465, why do you think Special Cat2 and Cat 3 Crew qualification is required?
I agree on one thing.."hands off" your sister but be prepared to grab her when you see "Cat2/3 invalid"!

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.
