Re: NG autolands

Sorry for the delay in answering your question all the aircraft that I’ve been typed on when doing auto lands trim nose up and depending on where a pilot disconnects probably requires a slight forward check pressure. In short the aircraft is out of trim. On CAT 3 the problem does not occur as the pilot does not disconnect until the end of the landing roll.

That said very few pilots actually ever use the autoland function except when they are mandated to do so as in a CAT 3. It’s just not a pilot thing to use the autoland as it spoils the fun of it..
