Our fleet (757/767) requires an autoland every 35 days to maintain currency (aircraft only - no crew currency issue). We are reminded by ACARS and/or flight departure papers to do an autoland ASAP when within (I believe) ten days of end of currency. It is my understanding that is a BIG DEAL to get aircraft back into the program if autoland currency expires (maintenance and flight ops involvement).

We are instructed to announce/request to ATC that an autoland will be performed so that ILS hold lines will be enforced.
