The main problem with the ZE 705 "incident" was that the A/land selection was made at too low an altitude not giving the aircraft systems enough time etc. You will find that on many aircraft nowadays when you make the Approach selection there is a minimum altitude that it has to be selected by, any lower then the system is not engaged. For example by 600 ft radio altitude. This was the problem when a certain training person decided to show off and "look what this aircraft has fitted - Autoland", but he did not know/realise that the selection had to be made above a minimum radio altitude.
