Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC

That would mean that all the largest and most expensive aircraft
(which are generally equipped with autoland) avoid all the largest and
most complex airports in the United States (which are generally Class
B or Class C), which is exactly the opposite of reality.
The discussion was about the 91.129 requirement to remain on or above
the G/S whether VFR or IFR. 91.129 is the language for Class D airports.
91.129 also applies to Class C and B airports as a matter of regulation.
So, I made a technical misstatement, I should have said, "Virtually all
aircraft that can autoland operate only into airports subject to 91.129."
For purposes of the issue there is absolutely no difference whether it
be B, C, or D, because the rules for D apply to B and C.
