With the Lockheed L1011, the only constraints are the following, besides those already listed...

There must be no limitations on the use of the glidepath below a certain height (which is normally printed on the approach chart), if there is, and...

The threshold crossing height must not be lower than 42 feet with the standard body model.

IF the TCH is lower than 42 feet, and an automatic approach/landing is attempted, the MLG to approach light clearance can be severy compromised.

Frangible approach light bits are just that, but you surely don't want to find out, the hard way.

NB.
The rollout function works just fine, in my experience, with the L10.

After all, the L1011 was designed from a clean sheet, with CATIII in mind, with no compromises.
None whatsoever.

A fine aeroplane!
