Thanks Randy, but beware of simulators – see other threads, simulators may not fully represent the aircraft or the auto-land system during unapproved operations. They are only computerized representations.

If any one was thinking of trying this in an aircraft then you will be taking some serious risks, in that any single failure in the auto pilot, ILS, or rad alt, etc may maneuvered the aircraft harshly or not flare at all; do not experiment with aircraft.

Thus we differ in our definitions of system capability; I don’t believe that an auto-land system can land (flare) on a single channel unless it is certificated to do so safely.
