CAT3 capability - specific configuration
Hello,
I try to list the different aircrafts certified for CAT3 approach in a specific configuration: with autoland but without autothrottle.
Do you know aircrafts of this specific type?
Thank you for your help,
Mic

the 737 classic i fly allows you to continue an autoland if the authrottle were to fail on the approach, not too sure on what the rules are on dispatching with an authrottle u/s to an airfield where cat III likely. will have to check my ops manual.

FWIW, and for the sake of completeness, your 744 restriction must be specific to your operator and not a Boeing restriction - we ( major 744 operator) are allowed to do do CAT III No DH without Autothrottle.

Wiggy,
I agree [I suspect we operate for he same UK carrier], autothrust not required for Cat 3B operations, the manual just says 'the thrust levers should be controlled manually to maintain approach speed. At approx 25R, gradually reduce power to reach idle on touchdown.'
Not so on the A320 family from recollection, but no big deal on the QOTS!

I would expect that auto throttle (or not) to be aircraft type dependent. Manual thrust can destabilise the pitch/glidepath accuracy depending on engine location and autopilot speed control system (airspeed / alpha). In this case any dispensation would have to show that the (manual) system still met the approach accuracy requirements.
However, I note that JAR-AWO 321 (b) for operations down to 50ft DH, only requires that workload be considered.
For DHs below 50ft or no DH, then autothrottle is required, i.e. no dispensation. (JAR-AWO 321 (c) & (d))
