Crickets, like no one else has every had that thought, every time they land Cat3 and need SMIGS, or an unfamiliar airport. 1 hand on the tiller, the other coming out of reverse. Use my nose to swipe pages??
Every time I get out a paper STAR, I get really weird stares from the copilot! Star on the clip board, Approach open in the Jepps book on the bag, iPad on the airport diagram. Simple, until they try to remove paper again.
I have my iPad set to auto display taxi pages upon 80 knots. 90+ % of the time it pops up just fine showing me exactly where I am. That's one way. IF its so low vis that SMIGS is needed, Stopping the airplane upon exiting the runway and onto a taxiway is prudent. That's just what I do, YMMV.
