[Hung Start]

They can call that a Cat III, but it must have been for ceiling only. Forward visibility looked pretty good, imo.
Go to ACK for a while, the "standard" Cat I seems to have a visibility a LOT less than that!
But then again, a lot seems optimistic at ACK.

Is it me or does that look like a displaced threshold that the aircraft touched down on?

You know I was thinking the same thing when I watched it! Technically that wasnt legal...But their french ....

You know after watching it a few times it looks like they land on the normal runway and a displaced threshold starts.... Kinda confusing


Can anyone explain that?

Me too!

The runway was probably extended at some point, but for whatever reason the old paint from the original displaced threshold is still there. That's my guess.

Was that Stephen Hawking calling out the altitudes in the jumpseat?

I think they have to use the Autoland on a Cat III. Not sure, but that's what I've heard.

No, they were flying an Airbus. That's what their robo-voice sounds like.

Unless the Aircraft has a HUD (Heads up display) All Cat III landings are autolands, same with cat 2 below 1200 RVR (at CAL)
