Do sim pilots log their time?

Instrument Rated pilots don't land on the gauges, they use visual

What is Category III c?

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

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

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.

In Cat IIIC you do.

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

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?

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.

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.
