How widespread is Cat III equipment, on the ground and in the air?


Most of the major carriers have CAT III equipment and most major
airports have at least one ILS with CAT III. You wouldn't get much AM
flying done near places like Sacramento and Seattle in the winter
without CAT III since the fog often reduces visibility well below
standard ILS mins.
