I did see the Airbus 380 test pilot explain the system exactly as I described on a programme about the 380
Was that when they came to HK on that promotional asian tour with the aircraft in 2007? (when it lost its wing fences in KUL...)
I think the autoland question was asked to that test pilot then.
And no, I've never flown it, but I kind of keep an enthusiastic eye on the program and would love to operate it someday.
We got the definitive answer from the horse's mouth anyhow.
