It's a problem during a coupled approach especially if the pilot is
planning to do an autoland.



It's not a problem if the weather is good.


Not so, Steve. It can cause control problems and certainly adversely
affect an autoland. That is why your handbook contains a caveat about
such approaches.

Approach couplers and autoland systems are weather independent.~
