YYT CATIII

[av8ts]

Stating the obvious, it's all automatic. Little human intervention required.

The hardest part, (and I have been there), is taxying to the gate. Shit, you can't see anything.

Actually on the Jazz RJ and Q400, Cat11 and Cat111 approaches are hand flown by the Captain using the HUD

My mistake, too old and too spoiled, always had autoland, except in the embraer (cat 2 only, even that made my little arse uncomfortable).

Does 3B qualify for HUD manual, or is it limited to 3A.

Just wondering, retired now.

3A only. 50 foot DH

Airports in Canada except for YYZ, YYC, YVR and maybe YUL ARE substandard.
The nation's capital airport doesn't even have a CATII approach for gawds sake.

Hi there, AverageAtBest from six years in the future.

YYZ is substandard in 2022 and I can tell you that with confidence. The airport is missing taxiway lighting on many of it's most used taxiways, instead using reflectors that are difficult to see. Taxiway T crossing E has blue taxiway centerline lighting. There is only one runway with CAT II ILS capability. They got their first RNAV-Y approach in late 2022, not that they have used it since. Any time there is good weather on a weekday, GDP is in effect. Taxiway D west of 33R until the 06L hold short line is in disrepair. Taxiway signs are constantly broken and unlit. Air traffic control (specifically ground) have no idea what a clearance limit is and get sassy when foreign pilots ask "what do you want us to do after hotel?" when only given "taxi alpha, hotel."

I can continue if needed.

Pearson has two CAT II runways; 05 and 06L. They are also both CAT III certified as well.

CAT II and III 06L has been NOTAM'd out of service for I don't know how long. It's possible it's open now.

It's been open for a while as far as I know. I'm based out of YYZ and I haven't seen any NOTAMs regarding the CAT II or III for 06L in a little while. Mind you we almost never use 06L so I could have easily missed it.

Maybe it was 05 that was out of service. I was stuck in YUL one morning a couple weeks ago because YYZ was fogged in and there were no usable approaches as far as I could see. It was terribly early in the morning and I was distracted by angry passengers in the background... I very easily could be wrong.
