Each autopilot is fully capable of doing the things the others can do, and to do it independently of the others.
Thanks guppy. So that beinh said..your quote above, they ARE there for redundancy? Why are they all fired up for AutoLand if they are all "equal" to each other? Could you give me some real life examples of one, two, and three autopilots being used in manual and/or command mode? Thanks! Sorry if I have not fully grasped this just yet.

edit: rather, why would the pilot flying chose the center autopilot versus the "left", or why the left versus the right or center, etc...?
