Topslide ,if you've already read the related topic you've seen that I thought the same ,that the 737 won't autoland sch.
Since then I've talked to a B company test pilot,also I've checked the maintainance manuals,and did it on the sim.Also I know of one landing done in the real plane at ,autoland on sch...done allright.
I've said before the main reason for not being allowed to do it ,and the "no flare available on sch" is that the 737 is not approved by the CAA to autoland Sch,and I don't know any other plane being allowed to do it.
Also lack of trim at 400,no cross monitor of the AP,systems,no precision during flare. And ,indeed, 'FLARE' is not available,and it won't appear on the FMA.
