Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiousity, I assume that the certification is for CAT II/III but that there is a statement for your type saying to be cautious with CAT I ILS/runways but no restriction. Do you see autolands on CAT I runways, perhaps in the past in situations where you might expect poor visibility in the flare(with appropriate precautions taken, of course)?altiplano wrote: ↑Mon Oct 01, 2018 3:49 am Aircraft I fly are certified for autoland on an ILS. Of course required visual reference for the category of approach you are doing. It's an option available within the autopilot limitations.
I don't know what "other" pilots are doing.... I speak for myself.
Updated three days later: I knew you would not answer this question based on the tone of the discussion from your fellow worker and I understand that. But I know the obvious answer based on your previous statements and no reply here. Pilots at your company are doing what I recommend using appropriate caution. And I am sure it has prevented other excursions.
If it looks like the vis will be poor but still legal for the landing, consider an Autoland. As the report states in this incident, these pilots did consider it as well but the restriction that applies only to Airbus aircraft possibly kept them from doing it.
Be ready to disconnect and to go-around(as these guys should have done).
