Calibration off by a small tolerance will do that.

How much of a tolerance, exactly?

Great enough that it's considered an unacceptable risk to auto land
unless the equipment is certified.

I'm sorry. The A380 has landed in Sydney airport. That landing
required the runway to be lengthened. I was unaware that it was a
fictitious aircraft and that everyone is hallucinating it.

It is not in regular service yet, nor has it been delivered in
quantity.

That's rubbish. You said the FMC is programmed from the start
(Incorrect, the approach is usually input en-route, but never mind).

The approach can be entered into the FMC at any time.

No, it can't, fjukktard
