AA's 737-800s do not have autoland capability. Hence the HUD and the hand flown CAT 3 landings. Most guys I've talked to say it's kinda fun and the HUD expanded LOC pretty much keeps the aircraft dead on centerline.

I believe the autoland capability was an option, AA chose not to go with it. I believe DL's 737-800s have both the HUD and autoland.

I do know that we (AA) are not authorized to autoland if there is a note on the Jepps stating that the localizer is not usable on rollout, which is indicated on the CLT 36 approach chart.
