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.
Horizon has HGS in all of our planes, including CRJ700s. We are certified to CATIIIA mins, but it has nothing to do with the autopilot, as these are handflown. Works great, by the way, although we often wonder if it is really worth the money, since it isn't all that often that you really use it down to the bare mins.
Whoops, I added that response without even reading the second page of the thread! Sorry- dumbass here...
