I could be wrong, but I dont know any CRJ's or ERJ's that have the autopilots you need to get certified for CAT III approaches. That is why I asked if it was a serious quesiton. Im not even at PSA.
Years ago, I worked at a carrier flying tired 737-300's (all hardball instrumentation). We did go to the expense of installing an HGS system. Our mechs, crews and aircraft were certified CAT IIIA. The system really saved our schedule,,, particularly SLC.
As for the CRJ, I don't know much about the autopilot/FCC's, but dual channels in a dual FCC installation will get you close to the requirements for CAT 3B.
