Autoland Capability
I'm wondering if the autoland capability that most large transport jets have is really needed. How often are airplanes approaching their final destination that have visibilities of under half a mile? (maybe 1/20 flights?) So all those other times the system is not being used and creates a loss for the operator... And for all the other times that the plane IS landing in poor visibility why can't HUDs be installed and pilot lands the plane using the HUD this is a much chepaer than have an autoland system.
