Certainly, when performing an autoland with autothrottles engaged of course
no speed additives are necessary on the 75/67



However the autothrottles are not approved for use to touchdown while flying manually. Unlike an Autoland they will not go to idle in the flare, they will stay in speed mode attempting to maintain the MCP speed.



During a manually flown approach, even with autothrottles engaged until close in, the usual, half the steady and all the gust additive must be added to target speed.
