Yeah, what he said.

 

Horizon does CATIII. CRJ700/Q200/Q400.

 

Awesome, I did not know Horizon is Cat. III. Learn something new every day.

 

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...

 

That's one word

 

Actually, it's three!

 

Yes, the Horizon fleet is well equipped for the amount of actual "down to minimums" approaches. We have a box where the field elevation/runway length is entered to provide the captain "flare symbology" on the HGS(flight dynamics). We have to have all 3 nav's tuned to the localizer(at least in the Q400). Also included is Inertial Navigation System. That's the only type of equipment we have.

The Q400 and the CRJ are both certified for Single-Engine CAT IIIa operations. This provides a lot of relief when planning for T/O alternates.

Most of the approaches are 50' MDA/600 RVR. Takeoff minimums with CAT III capabilities allows for as little as 300 RVR.

And that's all I know.

 

Thanks to all that contributed good, useful information.
To the others such as "unlimitedakro", rjtrashpilot and "airwaves",,, you may want to evaluate whether or not using this forum is a good thing. If your future employers (major airlines?) could know your true inner self, ignorant and immature, that would make room for those of us that really care about learning all they can about aviation. Unfortunately, airlines put more value on if you are a college graduate rather than if you are emotionally mature.
I do not have a degree but I have spent the last 24 years learning all that I can about aviation. In addition to my Comm tickets, I have a CFII, A&P, IA and an Aircraft Dispatchers ticket. Those listed above would probably not have been willing to shovel horse sh*t (literally) as I was to pay for my private ticket.
So I challenge those listed above,, you had the courage to post on this forum, do you have the courage to tell us your names?
My guess is no.

 

Even though its not a regional, Jet blue's E-190s also have HGSs in them...

quoted from APC "E190s have dual HUDs installed"

 

Hold your thumb from your index finger about one inch.






That's how much anybody cares.
