An ILS will not be able to taxi an A/C to the gate, but in the future GBAS may have the accuracy to to it.
ILS will be on the way out as soon as GBAS is introduced. It will be more accurate and less prone to interference.

'Wiz' that's a good addition here as to why there isn't auto taxi facilities at Dromes.
The Tenerife accident comes to mind here as if I recall the RFF services headed in the direction of the glow from the fire which was at first the KLM airframe & didn't notice (wasn't aware) the Pan Am wrecked airframe further down the Rwy for quite some time,(could have been the other way round, memory 'foggy') so much for the req'd 500 m or so for T/off although I think some rwy lighting wasn't avail meaning more vix was needed, 800 M.

Heathrow is different.
Like Singapore, their taxi instructions are "follow the greens".
They can selectively activate and deactivate taxi centre line lights and stop bars.
This makes it a peace of piss to taxi in low viz.
Maybe thats where the info got crossed from reality to fantasy?

CAT111B
On a CAT111B approach below alert hight (200) Ft if Capt's PFD fails can you continue the approach and land or go around and configure the instruments by using EFIS and come and land with both PFD's working?

I haven't seen any one mention yet that the aircraft must have the suitable autoland systems in the aircraft and backups working, and have been checked as doing one successfully in the previous x days, as well the pilots having done the same also in the previous y days.
Happy to be corrected if I am wrong on all that.
Just because it can fly down a ILS III doesn't mean legally it can do the autoland at the end.

Here in the sandpit there is absolutely no requirement for the aircraft to do an autoland on a regular basis-its comes straight from the box!. As far as the human element goes, depending on bidding and scheduling you can go a long time without doing one for real. The only legal requirement is box ticked in each 6 monthly check, the LVO qual itself is formally revalidated every 12 months.

Hi,
Any one who is on airbus please tell me On a CAT111B approach below alert hight (200) Ft if Capt's PFD fails can you continue the approach and land or go around and configure the instruments by using EFIS and come and land with both PFD's working?
