CRJ 200 vs. E-145. What are the differences?

[ERJFO]

The autopilot in the ERJ can go down to 200 feet on either side. It is also a cat 2 and in some cases cat 3 aircraft. Cat 2 is AP down to 200 feet, FO handflys to DH then the CA takes over for the landing or if nothing is seen the FO does the go around. Cat 3 is done with a HUD and I dont know about the AP with a cat 3.

The AP on the ERJ goes down to 50' in a CAT II approach...

Also, the FO dosen't "hand-fly" to DH... The F/O flys the airplane down on the AP to DH (100') and if the CA see's the runway the AP comes off at 50' (via the CA) and then the CA lands. At least thats how we do it at XJT.

At TSA the autopilot was only good to 200 feet, unless they changed something.
