Large airliners certified for autoland (which means most airliners) can land themselves if set up to do so, at airports with the proper equipment (which means an ILS certified for the purpose, although in a pinch almost any ILS might suffice). Autolands are not the rule, but in a situation like the one under discussion, where the airplane might be flown by a non-pilot or a pilot who doesn't have experience in type, an autoland would be the safest option, as it requires nothing more than the aforementioned pushing of buttons, turning of knobs, Yeah right, find the right combination of buttons AND push the button to talk to a person who may or may not be there to help you push the right buttons AND fly the plane until you get such combination of instructions into the MFD to set up for autoland. I BET YOU CAN'T. Oh wait, your vision is restricted to a 19 inch monitor, so yeah IN YOUR MSFS simulator, you have a better chance since you don't have a fear factor of losing your life. |
