Yes, but that's more about certificated landing disctance, I think, than the actual behaviour.

I haven't done hundreds of autolands, what I'm saying is in my experience there is no significant additional float.

But since every airplane behaves slightly differently, maybe that is more noticeable on others...

Btw,
The aircraft was never designed to autoland,
doesn't make sense.

Autolanding depends on electronics, not the piece of metal.
Electronics were bolted on as on every other airplane.

and relies upon the trim bias applied.
You say that.
We've been discussing this in another thread at lenght, and it appears, from various sim experiences, that NOT.
Although nobody is 100% sure until we don't try in the real machine.
