Flintstone and others,
Just out of interest; does the auto pilot disconnect anyway 'automatically' at 200' or thereabouts if it senses idle power etc. or would it have been the crews lives flashing past and the F/O who manually disconnected it?
Perfect result in the circumstances whatever happened and therefore a great job done by the crew who fully deserve the recognition; albeit maybe slightly prematurely?
The answer will hopefully be in the final AAIB report or maybe it is known already, anybody?
