On the type that I fly- BAe RJ 100- there are only 4 things that are permitted to fail on a autoland approach without requiring you to go around. And one of the four is a radalt.

In other words with a radalt failure you can still complete an autoland or a non autoland approach.

Here, though, we are being told that a single radalt failure on a (modern) Boeing 737 brought the levers to flight idle and caused a stall.

So either.
1. Avro are really clever manufacturers

2. Boeing aren't

3. This 'radalt' theory from the Dutch is rot.

Which is it?
