Vilas, I seem to recall there was one special case for which this was not true and the fact was on purpose pointed out during the TR training. True/false? Thanks a lot.
Gryphon:
the FCOM procedure I posted does not show CAT3 in the INOP SYS list. This is in line, I believe, with your observations from QRH. And the limitations section does not prohibit us from autoland with CAT2+
LIM for ILS AUTOMATIC LANDING IN CAT I OR BETTER WEATHER CONDITIONS:
‐ At least CAT2 capability is displayed on the FMA, and CAT II/III procedures are used.

FD.

FLARE MORE
In pitch alternate law the flight mode changes to the flare mode when the pilot selects landing gear down. The flare mode is a direct stick-to-elevator relationship. (Refer to DSC-27-20-20 Direct Law).

ALTERNATE LAW > PITCH
As mentioned above, ALTERNATE reverts to DIRECT law for landing when the flight crew lowers the landing gear.
