Yeah, right.
I know, thanks.
It is routine to turn on autoland during approach and turn it off just
before touchdown.
If you turn it off, it's not autoland.
Nope, it is an autoland approach as defined by the FAA in:
http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraff...pubs/PCG/A.HTM
"An autoland approach is a precision instrument approach to touchdown ..."
So if you turn it off before touchdown, it's not an autoland.
Right, it is an "autoland approach" as defined by the FAA and a term
you claim doesn't exist.
