I understand your concern but I would be very surprised if the sequence ending at 7:20 was other than shots taken in a sim for the camera man's benefit.

For reasons that don't matter I was on the jump seat of a very early Pan Am 747 going into Dulles in 1971. I noticed that a day VMC autoland being done for my benefit was being flown with only one channel of the AP engaged. After the landing I enquired why and got the response "If we select more they argue and the system dumps".

Those were the days.
