That I call magic , in the middle of nowhere arriving on a needle without visibility, seems it's a new technique in our time of cellphones etc but the trident had first in the 60s that CAT II CAT III landing capabilities. Super nice catch , congrats
This is exactly how the scariest landing I ever had as a passenger played out in St. Louis one winter in the 1980's. We were on final and I saw nothing out the window but dense fog/clouds like this. The scary part was the pilot aborted the final approach pulling up and turning Hard to the right 3 (THREE) times!! On the fourth approach (with the biggest Pucker factor I've ever had 😱) the view out the window started to clear and at the same time the wheels Hit the runway. I bet that seat still smells Today. LOL
The autopilot made a good landing but deviated about 20' right of centerline. It started a fairly aggressive bid back to centerline when the pilot disengaged it, nulled the overshooting correction and centered the jet. In 20 years of airline flying, Cat II and III landings are pretty rare. Minor roll-out deviations happen, but are easily handled.
It’s actually easy if you’re equipped. You can use a HUD to fly CAT II and CAT III approaches. You just follow the flight director until you have visual and then land. No autopilot over correction and no awkward transition between autopilot and hand flying (all trims are set and control forces/feel accounted for).
Amazing to hear the autopilot come off AFTER landing
whoah marker beacon sounds, its so rare nowdays
The cockpit view on these low visibility night landings are so great to watch 🔥

Well...that was sporty! Nicely done!
Buzzer isnice 😂 as well as autopilot off, like an spaceship of 80s 😂😂
Nice steering, Tex! God bless
all over the place on that centerline damn!
loser
loser
Omg what was so insane
What happened during the last 30 feet with runway not centered?
Im not entirely sure, but looks like the autopilot didnt correct for the crosswind.

It’s pretty obvious you’ve never done an ILS to minimums before.
Quite an off-centerline landing, that inflatable rubber (auto)pilot needs some refresher training. :-P
Just inflate it better...
@@begemo Whatever you do, don't panic! On the beltline of the automatic pilot is a manual inflation tube. Just pull it out and blow!
Blow ROC?
The pilots could have done a much better landing manually instead of relying on that lousy autoland.
KentB27 With that much visibility, it would've been really hard.

Not really…we landed in worse in Alaska with no automation in caravans
Better than not knowing where you are till 5 seconds before touchdown.
Stupid comment.
