The 737 is authorized Cat III autoland. We can also hand fly Cat III with no autopilot/autothrottles. If we use them together it is called a hybrid Cat III with 30’ mins instead of 50’ mins for the other two

That's the terrible part.

unless I need it for something I’m doing or a procedure, it’s a safety issue. It partially blocks the view out the window...FAA requires see and avoid when in VFR flight on an IFR flight plan and it’s 100% useless when moving on the airport..
