Eng1 fail with additional green Hydr failure.
In other words: green and blue system gone and on one engine.
Overweight landing
These are facts.
So if you loose 2 Hydr systems you go in alternate law with reduced protections.
Once you lower the gear, you are in direct law.
All the discussions about Autoland are not relevant.
The assumption that once you loose an engine you are in alternate law is not correct.
On all the Airbus 330 and 320 (on which I am rated and current on) series you can still make an Autoland with one engine out. Correctly stated CAT 3 A or single as mentioned in Airbus Aircraft. Things change when you loose more then "just" an engine.
