How about we keep it simple and most importantly right:

1. An overweight landing is an abnormal operation by definition. So there is no such thing like an overweight landing in normal ops...

2. RRR clearly correctly explained why some newer Airbus aircraft had the provision for overweight autolands and others did not.

C's Angel: if it is one of those days when I start evaluating the benefit of an overweight autoland, it clearly means that amazing myself for some manual flying was not an option.

Are you really a professional pilot?
You got irritated when other posters gave detailed and referenced answers while your first reply was erroneous and a vague guess.
Please refer to point 1.
