Jerry_Atrick Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 All planes have an auto-land. Some just hurt more than others ;-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmccarthy Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 As an air force chap once said to a submariner - we have never left one up there, how are you going? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octave Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I recall reading a story that I am sure is apocryphal. An airline was progressively upgrading it's airliners with an autoland system. The pilots notes said "Autoland - aircraft landed heavily and to the left of centre line" Engineers notes "this aircraft is not fitted with autoland" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
