Not all CREWS are either.
It's not just a matter of having the proper equipment. The aircraft AND crew must be continuously certified for currency$$$$$$$$$$$$ Also to perform a "coupled" CATIII when the airport is not actively performing ILS or CATIII/ILS ops would be dangerous because aircraft operating on the ground would be allowed into the ILS critical area and might potentially interupt the VHF signal..................DOH!!....hate when that happens!
