Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC

That regulation applies only to Class D airports.

Virtually all aircraft that can autoland operate only into Class D
airports.


Uh, what?

I corrected that. Virtually all aircraft that can autoland operate
either into Class D airports or airports that are subject to the rules
of Class D airports; i.e., FAR 91.129.

The context was remaining on or above the ILS G/S in VFR from the "OM"
inbound.

This would be a company policy, no? Because it could still be
done in any other aircraft outside your company.

You must be another non-pilot?

Right now, no. I'm working on that. doing all the studying I
can and taking notes from you who already are pilots before taking the
plunge myself. I want to be ready before I take that step.

91.129

A large or turbine-powered airplane approaching to land on a runway
served by an instrument landing system (ILS), if the airplane is ILS
equipped, shall fly that airplane at an altitude at or above the glide
slope between the outer marker (or point of interception of glide slope,
if compliance with the applicable distance from clouds criteria requires
interception closer in) and the middle marker; and
(3) An airplane approaching to land on a runway served by a visual
approach slope indicator shall maintain an altitude at or above the
glide slope until a lower altitude is necessary for a safe landing.


I understand now. I was more familiar with the .65 than the
FARs. Thank you for the enlightenment.
