Hi cgtpilot, I'm confused. I take it jb means jet blue, which flies airbus and E190. Both airplanes (I thought) are cat III certified anyways. What's the advantage of HUD v. the inherent capacity of the airplane. I thought a HUD is a customer prefered option. Why get it if the a/c is already capable of cat III?
Thanks
