Hi,
is that true that the NASA shuttle only ever did autolands??....why was it preferred to a manual landing since the wx conditions for each one of its landings were way above cat 1??what if the autoapproach capability failed??...would the crew have been able to land it??
i would assume that the autoland was common practise only because its pilots never actually did any touch and goes on it as opposed to many automatic computer tested landings....
