[pullup hard]

[QNH1013]

There is a 10-AWO for it issued already.

[411A]

Nothing new for DXB...it was CATIIIA 15 years ago, before all the construction started.

[Dr. Evil]

AUH is working on CAT III B (DH 50 ft + RVR 50 m) for RWY 31(L).
Scheduled to be operational by 1st July 08. Inshallah...

PS. future plans for CAT III B for 31R-13L as well

Cat3 is good, however, until spacing requirements are updated, traffic isn't going to move any faster at DXB. They still require 10 miles between arrivals in low vis, 15 if there is a departure. :ugh:

411a has claimed DXB was Cat IIIA 15 years ago before on this site. I was operating out of DXB then, and I certainly don't recall that being the case.

Is there anyone out there with a better memory than mine who can prove one of us to be right?

****

I stand corrected - old timer's disease must be getting to me, as I have no recollection of it.

[ruserious]

Nope I am afriad he is right Dubai has been CAT3 before

[Sheikh-It-Easy]

Look forward to CATIIIB in October. it's in the pipeline.

[Insh Allah]

I was flying on a regular basis to DXB at least 15 years ago.. it was CATIII then..

Used it on a few occasions I might add :8
