Are aircraft barred from landing in crazy wind?
What are the regs and rules?

Jump to postI guess that HUD is the standard and is far superior for low viz T/Os and landings than PVD.
Jump to postSince all BA aircraft are equipped with PVD,the RVR minimum is 75 meters as opposed to others (non-PVD) which is 125 metres.

What is the status on blind takeoffs?
Zero viz T/Os?
Many thanks!
Any Auto T/O fighters?
Does it exist?
If Autoland exists why not Auto T/O?
Many thanks!

Auto T/O
I guess because too many things happen during T/O. Speed is constantly changing so is the attitude, and configuration changes that the auto flight cannot handle.
I have used HUD on 737-800. Great device. you can do a CATIIIC Approach hand flown with
I only flew the Classic (Rope Start) 747s.
What is a Rope Start?

Why no auto T/O? How would it work?The opposite of an autoland? Many thanks!

Is this an autoland?

It looks incredibly perfect.
Does the new 748 have GMC?

Ditto for the 787.

I mean whereby the flight crew can see the back of the plane as well as other blind spots.
