Flight Safety is correct. The automation is not understood. The FOs are landing in crosswinds, albeit using "outside procedures", with the Captain's acquiescence IF an autoland is made. The fact that the autoland feature is for low visibility and NOT strong & gusty crosswinds is not part of the "briefing". It isn't really necessary to say that that point will clearly be made by Boeing at the hearing.
