Illegal to fly a CAT III manually - must have redundant autopilots.

LIML or LIMC ?

very nice. but after landing you have to find your gate. and i think thats not very easy ;)

[Aloft1961]

That's true. There is a system of specific markings and green lights on the taxiways coupled with red "stop bars" that guide pilots from the runway to the ramp parking area. Otherwise, a "follow-me" truck is used to guide crews to the gate.

WOW. This was amazing; I am 14 years old and I have such a higher respect for pilots. I just learned about CAT III approaches about a week ago and have since been watching these videos and they are truly amazing. Makes me eager to be a pilot. Congratulations to this pilot also :]

Not true! Your landing speed isnt your stall speed so the airplane would still be able to float over the runway. Also the plane is light so you dont need a high amount of thrust to climb. In the end just calculate the time from 50 feets to touch down. You need about 5 seconds. Thats enough time to spool up the engines to a reasonable amount of thrust...

@Aloft1961 why is it illegal? After all pilots are trained for it. For "safety"?

[bettileonardo]

@Aloft1961 maybe only the auto-throttle was disengaged

I always thought Malpensa has CAT II ILS...

@homelessipod I hope that your dream comes true and one day you become a pilot! Good luck!!

767 ftw :D

@CAMEROOOOOOOOPIEOOOO Minimums is the height that the pilots have set their radio-altimeter to. The height can be changed to suit various types of approaches (cat I,II or III). The altimeter sends radiowaves to the ground and therefore measures your height=AGL and not your pressure-altitude. When flying an approach you have a decision height where you determine if you can go on or not (basically if you can see the runway (lights) or not). Hope this explains minimums.

ok video ni

@tasev1 don't forget when you go around, all the drag flaps are stowed.. and "it takes time for the engines to spool up" well the engines are already spooled up for the approach so from approach to GA thrust would be no time at all....
