As far as autolands, when people ask about the difference between Boeing and Airbus products I mention the difference in autolands - Boeing, 3 A/P's and lands cross-controlled. Airbus - 2 A/P's and lands in a crab.
......Depends on the Boeing.
I must admit the only time I tried an autoland on a Fail-Op 737 I was impressed as it de-crabbed and held itself nicely. A Fail Passive one just dumps it on sideways....
