The first ever Autoland performed on a passenger aircraft was done by the British in March of 1964. The plane was the British Trident flown by BEA. The first ever Autoland performed with passengers on board was done also in a Trident aircraft in April of 1965, flown by BEA pilots. The second aircraft model to install the Autoland system was the American built L-1011 TriStar.

[@Foxy-rj8yw]

l-1011 was such a good plane it just came to the market too late

[@h4runx]

A category III approach (CAT III with 0 visibility) are rarely executed because most aircraft don't have the equipment, plus once you land with that kind of visibility taxiing can be impossible or incredibly dangerous. and also the pilots have to be authorized to this landing. Not every pilot can land cat3. and also the airport infrastructure must be suitable for cat3.

[@bigd5899]

@@ChannelReuploads9451 When the pilot lands the aircraft manually he’s not doing it on feel and vibes, he is following the glideslope the flight computer is telling him to follow. A stressed pilot could make mistakes, it has happened that they diverged from the glideslope, got too slow, too fast etc. Autopilots don’t make these random errors, they cant forget flaps, gear or brakes and monitor every single instrument simultaneously. Meaning if the autopilot crashes a human probably wouldn’t have stood a chance. Which is why you wouldn’t get told when you’re about to do an automated landing.

[@MaxPower888]

@MistakenBacon Exactly, the pilot programmed the system and monitored it to ensure the landing was performed properly. Ultimately the pilot still controlled the aircraft, just indirectly.

[@opus4rv]

It doesn't exactly land itself unless the pilot asks it to or knows what he's doing via many months of training. The systems are there for safety of you and the plane, not to make the pilot 'non-existent".

[@cockatoo010]

Autolands are not as smooth as manuals as the AP flares a bit earlier

The technology has gone far! This was a 'nice weather' landing, but can the plane land itself in very gusty conditions? When the airplane has to crab into the (cross)wind(s) ?

[@jamesthompson3099]

No, this is really for low visibility, calm days with extreme fog, haze or smoke. When it gets too turbulent you need to find an alternate if the visibility goes south as well.

[@hb1338]

Autoland works fine in a head wind, but you can't use it with a tail wind, a cross wind or if there is turbulence or gusting, because (unlike a human) it cannot react quickly enough or correctly.

[@edwardgeorge4881]

Excellent video! 🛬 And great music. 🎶

[@RLTtizME]

Good explanation.

[@beaubritton4362]

I’m curious about moderate to sever turbulence. This is amazing technology.

[@a_a7287]

Beau Britton I'm not a pilot but i think in times of severe turbulence, the atc changes which direction planes should land on the runway. There are two ends of the runway and both can be used for takeoff/landing. ATC will issue the pilots towards the runway in which that wind can favor them. As you know, there are some airports which have runways going towards different directions and ATC could direct them to a runway which won't make the plane go through severe turbulence. I'm sure that autoland can correct the plane as moderate turbulence drifts it off course every now and then but the pilot could also take control at final. I'm not completely sure if this is how it always works though.

[@TiJayFLY]

The crosswind limit is somewhere around 20kts for autoland IIRC.

[@theferrones]

His landing was smoother than the pilot in Airplane! Easy cheesy . Excellent

thanks for uploading this fascinating documentary. please allow me to place a request here, because i hope that many aviation fascinated persons might see it: years ago i stumbled obout an older documentary about autopilots and gyros. they tested the autopilot on a big plane and everything worked perfectly in the beginning. then right before the landing the plane suddenly altered it´s course and they thought the autopilot is broken, but as it turned out the autopilot was correct and just did this maneuver to correct for windspeed, turning of the earth and maybe even other parameters and did find it´s way perfectly to it´s destination. maybe someone has seen this video and kindly posts a link here? i would appreciate that, thanks a lot in advance. i´m going to post this in other videos as well for increasing the chance of positive feedback. thanks again and greetings from austria :)

[@moriver3857]

Good video, however, the PAPI explanation is somewhat misleading. PAPI is to be disregarded if the approach profile, glideslope, localized, DME, RadAlt, BaroAlt are all correct. Some approaches even state that the G/S and PAPI may differ. Besides,, if during a real approach to 100 m, the PAPI will not be visible until below the deck. PAPIs and VASIs alike are ref only unless the PF STATES, "going visual" or during a published visual approach and FDs off. Back in the day, we used to routinely hand fly a CAT II approach for real, with FD and no autothrottle. Our aircraft were approved for this, including single engine. It seems we have regress in this area.

[@richardwyse7817]

wondering if ILS calibration flights track G/S vs Papi? im sure they dont always track esp close to touchdown. PAPI probaly more precise. but G/s is in control!

[@richardwyse7817]

interesting to speculate if an aircraft could be fitted with a PAPI tracker as a backup to the glideslope? lets call it the optical landing system! esp useful if the G/S was notammed off?

The autopilot is an assistive system that's been around for decades. The purpose of an ILS (Instrument Landing Sysem) is to allow landing in low visibility, when visual landing is not possible. It's not going to replace pilots.

Yes, they have to be diligent as the pilot said in monitoring, he could have taken over in an instant ... you keep your hand ready to take auto-pilot off, also if you make a large control surface adjustment, auto-pilot will disengage.

[@I_dont_want_an_at]

I pretended I was on an cruising Airbus a380 with dead pilots and asked chatgpt4 for help. We crushed it. Here was the method: I was the supervisor in the cockpit. we brought in a smart civil engineer passenger to sit in one pilot chair. we brought in an avid aviation sim player for the second pilot chair. we brought in another sim enthusiast for back up. We had chatgpt4 to get some ideas from. We tuned into the emergency frequency. Chatgpt 4 told us that, and where various buttons were. We got emergency traffic control on the radio and they found a suitable pilot to talk us through the cruise and auto land. we had 2.5 hours till landing in Sydney. We learned the instruments and created an easy to understand written plan of action for our approach and landing. weather was good and the airport and runway were capable of accepting an auto land. We ran through our plan several times before our approach began. We had a system of triple checks for each step. Obviously we made reassuring announcements to the passengers. We couldn't hide it from passengers because it's unethical, and also because we had to search for smart confident technical minded people to come be stand-in pilots. It all went off without a hitch. I think it's more than possible.

Literally everything is controlled here by computers it's fly by wire. Pilot moves the stick that tells computer and then computer moves hydraulics. Autoland is used in extremely bad weather conditions. When pilots can't land because of fog plane will do it automatically. Autoland is one of the only options for bad visibility landings. It will never go haywire and it absolutely doesn't matter cause whole plane is controlled by computers anyways with lots of redundancy meaning that there's no fail risk.
