Well just to counter your technique and at the same time not saying your wrong but in my previous MD11 experience we "suggested" that if the pilot was going to turn the AT off during the landing phase he would be better off to do so at 1'000 AFE and simply fly the airplane down to the runway as one would do with any old iron bird, but not disconnet them at the low altitude close to the ground in which they may or may not be in the exact position or power setting that you believed they were. It was a novel concept....fly the airplane from the OM or at least 1,000" AFE. Most often the landing was better in the latter mode of operation.
