Manual Landing VS Autoland performance

Hi Guys,

Was just wondering if there's any writeup on the performance calculation on this topic. The landing distance required for autoland is higher than manual landing with SAME autobrakes setting.

From my understanding, autoland takes into consideration the flare height at 40ft AGL while manual landing is assumed to be 50ft above threshold and touchdown at 1000ft marker.

IS this correct ?

Need some explanation from the experts out there.

Cheers,
Liong
