The irony of the whole autoland thing is a friend of mine was on a flight into Gatwick there recently, as they were coming into land the aircraft was all over the place, people were getting sick en everything.
When they laneded then the captain came on the tanoy to inform them that they just did a full autoland!!
At the time, I think there was no serious X wind or anything like that.
And we thought that autolands/approaches would be smoother than manual
