777 CAT3B app with one gen failed
777 making CAT3B approach, with LAND3 annunciated and one engine gen failed. Do we have to go around? Or can still go on with CAT3B approach.Thanks.

From an Autoland perspective, continue and land. The ASA will indicate LAND 3, so no downgrade required. In fact, with only one backup Gen operating the B777 is still CatIIIA capable, as the ASA will indicated LAND 2.

Not to worry about on finals, but items like Windscreen wipers! must be S for Cat 3 approach, but not monitored.

Going back to the original thread, only 1 Generator out shouldnt be a problem at all, according to Boeing 777s have 6 generators (in Total) and only 1 failing should not result in any downgrade from CAT3 !!!
