Question for Cat IIIb operators
Hello everyone.
I would like to inquiry pilot's that operate cat IIIb capable airplanes about a few doubts.
Please consider that the landing will be acomplished in catt IIIb conditions and could you please let me know the aircraft type?
1) According to your aircraft type, are you allowed to be dispatched with the autobrakes inoperative?
2) According to your aircraft type, upto what speed are you allowed to leave the autopilot engaged during the rollout mode. (I'm interested in knowing what the exact speed is, and if the system is capable of taking you to a full stop).
Thank you for your time!!
Cheers,
Mork

Autobrakes required pos 3 minimum.
rvr 100/100/75
a/p disengage at safe taxi speed; a safe taxi speed in cat IIIb is generally considered to be less than 30Kts gnd speed on the runway; however, the a/p has capability to keep centerline until full stop.
Hope it helps.

When we were IIIb,
Yes (they were not necessarily fitted anyway) but more importantly, they were not authorised for use on autolands.
60Kts was the disconnect speed (No autobrakes = if you do nothing you'll probably end up in the localiser aerial).
Fokker 100
(We have downgraded to Cat IIIa for fleet and type commonality)
