By the way Trident’s were certified to 75meters RVR,not a lot else is certified to those limit’s thease days…………infact nothing if my memory serves me correct.:)
The system was first tested in March 1964. The first time it was used in service was in 1967 and by 1970 BEA had completed over 7,500 landings on aircraft carrying a total of 500,000 passengers.
The Trident used the Smith SEP5 autopilot system.
BA Tristars would have been state of the art back in the late 70s.
Dont forget much of the autoland equipment on BEA/BA TriStars came from the good old Trident.:)
