PSA CRJ HGS Sys CAT II / III
For PSA folks..
Are the 200's or 700's equipped with the head up guidance system and if so are the aircraft / crews CAT qualified?
Thanks.

How bad those pilots want to get into an airport does not have anything to do with the money a company needs to shell out to get all their aircraft and crews certified for Cat II and Cat III approaches. I wont even get into the HUD's!
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.

Hgs
I don't know any of the RJ's that have a HGS but we have the box for them in our planes but they are empty. No electronics in them. I don't know if the company just wanted to have a reason to have less headroom in the cockpit or if they are actually thinking about installing the Heads up displays....I guess only time will tell.

As for the CRJ, I don't know much about the autopilot/FCC's, but dual channels in a dual FCC installation will get you close to the requirements for CAT 3B.

Just curious as to why you'd single out PSA and even think that CRJs flying for a US regional airline would have that type of equipment? Not that I wouldn't want it, it'd be great, but it just seems such an odd question.
