CAT 3 to an Autoland to the aircrafts lowest certified minimums.
so no 3 bounces in the jet doesn’t work unless we get a waiver and are able to get the cirriculum built and approved within AQP. Also we would need to train out evaluators how to check in the aircraft.
only evaluators that are LCAs would be able to do the training as they are the only group that can sit in either seat during a live United flight.
We don’t have anywhere close to enough Evaluators that are also LCAs so we would need to hire, train get the FAA sign off then they could do it. So yeah it’s not going to happen.
Not arguing LCA availability, but if you stayed in the pattern and did 3 landings in an actual aircraft prior to going nonqual, wouldn’t that be the same as 3 landings on the line? Normal takeoff, autopilot approach until 200 feet, and a normal landing. It’s not a landings class, it’s just getting 3 landings in the aircraft, thus voiding the need for a class.
