WC, my point is that the AP disconnecting itself is irrelevant to the subject at hand, ie. loss of ILS signal when you're visual. The AP disconnecting itself stems from yet another irrelevant war story.

An autopilot disconnect is a non event. Everybody should be able to hand fly a simple ILS approach. We all grew up with the ability to fly to 200 ft and a half mile with no problem. It still isn't a problem. Now we have cat 3 approaches that require more procedures but when was your last cat 3 approach other in a sim? In my career, none. 23,000 hrs and nothing much happened. Had to use the slides once because of a positive bomb threat and smoke in aircraft having to return to MIA but nothing worth saying.
Flying is pretty much uneventful now days. That is good.

It wasn't my idea to evacuate, it was required by our airline procedures. I just had to follow procedure even though I knew it was false. What would you do? Ignore it? I am sure that would get the FAA's attention.

CAT 3s? Half a dozen in the last 7 months. Seems like you've lead a pretty sheltered career.

WC, I'm talking about the posts on irrelevant topics not the irrelevant topics specifically.
Here's the title again for you - ILS signal lost during final. Feel free to read the very first post and then tell us where the OP asks about auto pilots tripping off then kindly let us know where and when that specific topic was brought up.
