SF, Thanks for the explanation of how Airbus uses a nose mounted localizer antenna to land on the centerline. I wonder if Boeing uses the computer to find the center axis to align with centerline too? Seems like an antenna mounted on centerline further back would be so much simpler. I don't have any manuals any more and have a friend trying to find where the 757 loc antenna is but it isn't in our study guide. Seems like in a xwind during decrab all autolands would end up in a bank into the wind during flare to get on centerline for the main gear.
