Outside here. We use the same Cat 2 procedure at Xjet and have been for years. It's really not hard. Me and my sim partner did one during CTP, I was in the left seat, sim partner with no jet experience was in the right. We saw the runway and landed. It's really not a hard procedure at all. Relax.
We have an entire briefing and systems check that's performed before the approach, along with modified checklists and callouts. We also do the approach flaps 22 to facilitate an easier go around from 100 feet.
We're also supposed to use this procedure any time the RVR is less than 4000 or 3/4 mile.

If the runway never comes into view, CA stays silent and FO waits for "minimums" auto call, then calls GA, TOGA, Flaps 2 and completes a coupled missed. Piece of cake.
Some of these companies have these odd methods of doing things, that make no sense. Cat 2 and when you grow up Cat 3 PF should always be in control, all the way to the landing. None of that, exchange of controls 50, 30 ft of the ground.

The thought process was and is simple. The person looking outside for the runway is in the best position to transition and land the airplane.
And, on a CAT II, the transition of controls occurs between 200 and 100 feet off the runway - not at 50 or 30 feet. If it hasn’t occurred by 100 feet, a missed approach is executed.
On a happier note, our pilots in the CPP pool received class dates at United.

One thing for sure. This isn’t a scam just to attract pilots for Mesa. United is taking our best captains and without any regard to what it does to our program.
