CatIII Ops
 

Hypothetical scenario:
A320 on the ILS (CATTIII DUAL) and suffer an engine failure or system reverts to CATIII Sıngle below 1000' AGL but above Alert Height. Go around is initiated and a second approach is conducted.
Q. would the second approach :
1.revert to a category with a higher minima i.e catII:rolleyes:
2. or would it be legal to conducted the approach ( single engine config) CATIII minima and land.:hmm:

reading the a few articles from airbus and JAR-AWO there doesn’t seem to be any direct answer from my understanding of the documents. everything is a shade of gray.:rolleyes:
Speaking to other people flying the machine (A320) provides as many gray and varied answers... some say full auto CATIII (CAT3 single) landing is legal but i cannot located a clear direct answer???:ugh::ugh::ugh:



anyone can shed some light on the issue??????

CAT III Single landing is legal, just do what it says on the FMA.

İ don’t doubt it is possible and legal but where can i find where is clearly states that it is legal to Land CATIII single for the A320????

FCOM 3.01.22

Read the section on 'Automatic Approach, Landing and Rollout'

Single engine autoland is approved in CATIII Dual, CATII Single and CATII.

thanks for that looked in the F.M aswell. got to get used to the Airbus docs ...

Bear in mind that some companies accordingly to their SOP's will not even authorize a CAT II aproach on a SE...
