excrab, sincere apologies. I could not have been more wrong. You are correct on all accounts including my previous type setup. Baffling, both in the original and quote of your post, I mistakingly read it as if the airline decided against dual-rudder (fail-operational) option electing to use the HUD instead, and that also for CATIIIA approaches.

Ironically, in the imaginary world where I had a say on how to sketch an airline, purchasing HUDs that would make the approval, trainings and maintenance of autolands obsolete is an idea I'd wish to explore.
