In my airline (KLM) we like to make manual landings, as long as weather permits. It will keep you more involved with your airplane.
Just wondering.
No one has said this was to be a full Autoland landing. All that was said was that the aircraft was on approach with the autopilot on. It was also said that this is normal for Turkish Airlines and it is normal for ALL AIRLINES.
Misinformed, ignorant, people are reading to much into this initial report. It was not originally written in English and it appears as though the translation is causing confusion even with so called "experienced pilots".
