Autopilot for British Airways
Abstract
THE Super One‐Eleven aircraft of the European Division of British Airways, currently have the ability to operate in Cat 2 conditions (RVR down to 400 metres and decision heights down to 100 ft). They are equipped with a Marconi‐Elliot auto‐pilot which is an extension of the basic E2000 fitted to all but the earliest production One‐Elevens. This auto‐pilot owes its origin to the well‐proven Bendix PB20D which for the 200 Series, was developed and optimised to suit the characteristics of the aircraft and at the same time looked ahead to future lower weather minima operations.
