Also, don’t you think it has to be taught correctly for it to be learned correctly? Where do we teach it in the SIM? JFK, IAD, IAH. All flat land airports. The whole concepts of using BARO only become real when flying a CAT II into ATL (or similar airport) where you have varying terrain.
And, screwing it up during a line check should send both pilots back to the SIM to be requalified in CAT II...: Unfortunately, we are too short of pilots to do that.

Do you really think the CRJ crews would pass today? We struggle on more than items on the checklist. When I sat right seat and we would fly practice approaches, we had captains take the controls too early, too late, use the radar altimeter, blow the PM callouts. It didn’t matter how much we would brief it.

Another round of Hogan's went out yesterday!

Glad about that. Hopefully, some more Mesa guys will escape. Do we know the class date given by United on the last batch?

Of all the approaches I learned to fly on the 175 at Republic the Cat2 was the easiest. Only difference between that and Cat1 was the need to read a laundry list of items off the Cat2 briefing checklist on the supplemental procedures card and plug in ice speeds. Then we just flew the damn thing like a coupled Cat 1. Seriously...easiest thing ever.
If Republic can teach bugsmasher GA pilots like me to fly a Cat2, they're doing it the right way. Maybe it's time Mesa and everyone else who flies the 175 just stop trying to reinvent the wheel and use Republic's SOP because it works.
