Trying to find out where the term 'Standard Landing' originates from.
Does this term have its roots in some legislation or was it just a term used by certain airlines and has spread to the general population?
Can anyone shed any light ?

I think it comes from those who like to hear their own voice. 
I mean unless there is something wrong with the aircraft, why would you do anything else but a standard landing?

The only time I've come across the term "Standard Landing" is in recertification of an aircraft for Cat II approaches.
If anything disturbs the certified equipment or there is a fault which removes Cat II certification, there is a requirement to carry out an approach in Cat I conditions, and for the approach to be faultless in the equipment's performance. This was referred to as doing a "Standard Landing".

Thanks Captain Stable -
The term as you correctly point out is related to Autoland upgrades. My question is where did the the term originate from ? Is the procedure listed in a legislative document ?
Thanks
