Wannabe airline pilots at it again. Maybe XJT will furlough these two.

This post is stupid. I can't believe the moderators let crap like this continue, and delete post on midget pilots.

The glideslope is only good until 200'......

After that, it's unreliable so it always drops off. So in turn, there really is no such thing as "dipping" below the glideslope. Look for it at work next time.

What if it is a CAT II/III runway?

That's when you are landing and if you hit all 3 cats, the Captain & F.O. and 1 F.A. gets crew meals. If you only hit 2 cats, then only pilots get the crew meals:beer:

Thanks for pointing that out.

I rode the autopilot till we broke out, disconnected it once we had visual, dipped below glideslope once the field was assured to make the most of the runway

I guess I missunderstood what he was saying, however, performance is based on the runway being used so the whole theory that he wanted to make the most of the runway is like saying "Since I can never land in the touchdown zone, I dipped a little low over the lights so I wouldn't float so far past it.

A visual approach is just that, you don't need a glideslope anymore past the MM.

How new was this captain?
