Re: NG autolands

Indeed ,the caution is respective to the lack of protection for the ILS system on landing at cat I. I've seen this happen when landing shortly after departing traffic,you can get a sudden move of the localizer,very close to the ground.The plane,if on automatics,will try to correct for that,..not unsafe,but not so nice either.
It's no problem with the auto nose up trim,I've disconected the autopilot at heights from 100' to 30' ,no problem whatsoever.Actually,after Retard,the plane will land by itself,even if autopilot is disconected bellow 50'.No major control movement required from the pilot.
