Well, okay, Steve. When I flew that equipment we often did autolands in
good weather as part of the continuing certification of the system for CAT
III operations.


Fine, there's no problem with that.



And, an air carrier flight could be going into a non-towered airport using
the ILS when the weather is "iffy" VFR.


We're not talking about "iffy" VFR, we're talking about good weather.



The "need" to use couplers and perhaps autoland systems is determined by
the carrier and it POI.


Well, their "need" to use couplers and perhaps autoland systems in good
weather does not give them priority over other users.
