Captain said something about ILS something something what they are certified for - not sure if he meant him, the company or the plane. Was pretty confusing, but rather safe than a greasy spot on the tarmac.
I’ll translate for you. E175 cannot do CAT III (auto land) ILS approaches. The larger planes can.
