If the autopilot isn't taking the aircraft to touchdown, it's not an autoland.
That's what autoland means: automatic landing. No control inputs required.
Autopilot engaged all the way up to touchdown and beyond.


Yeah, right.

The word "autoland" refers to a system in aircraft.

If you are going to post to real aviation groups, learn the language
of real aviation.

It is routine to turn on autoland during approach and turn it off just
before touchdown.
