Coupled Landing

[Tech Support]

Rode thru my first coupled landing last week at SFO.

737-800, Wx 100 ft & 1/8 mile forecast in Bay Area Fog.

I never saw ground before we touched down. Pilot said he only touched
controls after rolling down R/W and he went into reverse thrust with
engines.

Touch down was smoother than VFR Pilot landing back at IAH on return
leg.

What was that cartoon titled ??? "Born 70 Years Too Soon" :o)

That's the only thing he would have had to do, in fact. Even nosewheel
steering would have been guided by the AP

Or too late. Think the pilot could have handled an American Eaglet?
