You are talking about standard altitude altimeters or RAs?

RAs. One of them had malfunctioned on several previous flights, according to
the flight data recorders. The airline had not bothered to fix it, even
though it is essential for autoland (perhaps the airline expected its pilots
to be alert and hard-working enough to fly landings by hand, although that's
not really an excuse).

Babble.

Where is your data on airline SOP with regard to doing an autoland all
the way to the ground?

Where is your data on the percentage of landings that do an autoland
all the way to the ground?
