Tridents and the Autoland system
Something that has always intrigued me. If all Tridents were fitted with the Autoland system, then why, would there be any need for an aircraft to divert away from Heathrow due to visibility?
Having been researching movements at Manchester during the 1970s, there were still plenty of Trident flights diverting from London due to fog.
Could one reason be that the crew were not trained to 'land' on Autoland?
I would appreciate any further assistance on this baffling matter!
Many thanks
