I know of many more airlines where 3 autopilots inop is not a no-go item, and the limits are the same for Cat 1 autocoupled, flight director or raw data approaches.

In my experience even the best autolands are not as good as the best manual landings, and the average manual landing is better than the average autoland.

I had an engine fail at V1 once, love to have seen the automatics handle that one!
