Jazz 705

[Mulligan]

Question for Jazz 705 drivers.
I commute from YYT to YYZ. The 705 has just been introduced on this run and I'm wondering if the A/C is ever likely to be payload restricted. I understand this can sometimes be a problem on the -200. Assuming a reasonably close alternate (YXU,YOW), do I need to worry about getting turfed for fuel? How about the other way holding, say, YHZ?
Also, I was told that Cat 2 approaches are out due to training/certification. Is this true and is it likely to change? We DO tend to get a little fog here:-)!

cheers

unlikely to overload the 705, they have 70 seats, and the plane was build for up to 90 seats, I was told that they can have a full plane with full tanks and not even be close to overweight.

The Cat II is OK, Cat III not good to go yet

Flight testing of the HGS was completed last month on the BA prototype so it shouldn't be that long before it's certified.

The 705/900LR was specifically designed to restore the performance and payload/range of the 900 back to that of the 70 seat 700 - and it does!
