Default ILS critical area when the tower is closed?

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.~


You're mistaken. There's no need for approach couplers and autoland systems
when the weather is good. It's not a problem because the pilots can see.
