- No manual flying with AT On, i.e. AP Off means AT also Off

- All flying ‘close to the ground’, i.e. eg all flying below 500 ft agl is to be manual (in the above sense, AP and AT both Off) in all flight phases including GA. Only exception allowed for Cat III landing, but even then in case of GA disconnect both AP and AT

- Gear up only above 500 ft agl
Rubbish. Let's wait for the report before we start turning the world upside down. Besides, there are some types with eminently more simple throttle systems that this "one in all in" 737/777 stuff just does not apply to.
