Alex,

Just through autolanding various models of 737 for a number of years. Sorry if that's not good enough.

It's a 'slow cut' from 35ft, by the way, and I wouldn't do it every day.

So, you believe that it was designed for autoland?

and it doesn't rely on trim bias?

I think YOU'RE the one who looks like the 'Bus pilot...

For UK CAA ops, there's no problem autolanding without AT, unless your company imposes more restrictive requirements. OEI autoland is not permitted (but might just be possible, given APU, favourable conditions, and 'switched on' crew).

Heh heh...

LEM,

Boeing advise an additional 1000ft LDR increment to make up for the float, which you say, isn't there.
