Do sim pilots log their time?

In Cat IIIC you do.

No, you don't. There's quite a procedure to carry out an autolanding.

Did you by any chance check to see who wrote this article?

Some of these responses suggest that people just don't get sarcasm or
cynicism.


sim-icism?

Instrument approaches and landings are not relevant to a piloting
newsgroup? Why?

Not Cat 3c.




And even if it was a pilot isn't landing a Cat 3c airplane, the computer is.


Then why does the pilot have to be instrument rated?

How many times have you landed in zero visibility? You don't just
push a button.

Yes, you do. It's required. Cat 3c is an autoland. The pilot is there
to monitor the electronics. He does not land the plane.

He was wrong again. At least that is a consistent thing, for him.

Yeah... He is quite a phenomenon.

I have killfiled him, but when he makes a stupid one-liner remark that is
easily and factually refuted with a link, I just can't help myself.

I did, but that was not making his responses go away, so I have changed tactics.

I'm going to keep on him, let him dig a deeper hole, and give him more rope.

You ought to try it. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, with a 12 gauge
shotgun. g

Why? All instrument approaches are flown by pilots, including Cat
IIIc.

He doesn't autoland by pushing a button. There's quite a checklist.
In fact, it appears to be similar in workload to a visual approach,
except that the time is spent configuring the FMC or autopilot rather
than manipulating the yoke or pedals. And with zero visibility and/or
generally bad weather, the stress factor is certainly an additional
workload.

Why bother? It's so easy to pick out his threads, even with the original
question nuked. Just look for the lamest ones. It's probably his.

The problem with that is you keep getting splattered with fish guts.

What I should do is write a macro or program to check threads and then
kill file the whole thread. It's amazing how the number of posts
drops.

OTOH I've always had a tendency to answer some out in left field
questions with a smart assed remarks and I seriously doubt I'm alone
in that. That being the case I'd hate to see some unwary soul led
astray.

I'm amazed you guys are still even talking to HAL.
He's got all the answers anyway and just needs TLC.

But, it's best he's kept amused here, and far away from the sim groups!
