The accident report refers to "ILS 15" af Fredricton, but the (expired) 2006 flight-sim plates I have only show an NDB (!) approach. Though 15 has nice ALSF-1 lights and everything.<br /><br />Perhaps Aviatrix substituted a proper ILS at Halifax.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991660841701835065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-29915794698711353612010-01-31T12:38:46.383+00:002010-01-31T12:38:46.383+00:00As an old instructor of mine once said, "The ...As an old instructor of mine once said, "The autopilot is a better pilot than you.

Stemming from this accident TC issued more stringent requirements about who should be landing the aircraft when the vis is below certain limits for CAT 1 approaches. Ironically it can be trickier to land on a "black hole" CAT 1 runway at limits, vs. say a CAT2 approach where the runway lights illuminate the entire touchdown zone.Aluwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518739658424324739noreply@blogger.com
