Finally, finally - after having studied I don't know how many manuals and recommendations - I was able to autoland for the first time last night with a 737NG 600 on a flight from KMSP (Minneapolis) to KDLH (Duluth)!:-wave This was just incredible to watch. I had the NAV radios tuned into the right frequencies, the course setting was correct, my flight was at the right altitude to intercept the LOC signal and I was apparently on the right glide scope. Once the glidescope became active (not that I noticed it), I was able to engage the second AP - and it held. I slowed down,lowered the flaps and watched as the plane descended smoothly. And suddenly I had landed using autoland for the very first time. Wow, this was a heck of a lot of fun!Now, I'm wondering if I can repeat this procedure. PS: Duluth is a good airport to practice autoland since there usually isn't a great deal of traffic flying in and out. Give it a try.

Congrats Mark, glad you just enjoyed one and most certainly not the last perfect autoland :-)The feeling you get when you learn more and more about both the flying in itself but also all different systems and the fact that you know they resemble the real world systems to 95% is amazing and very fun indeed!!All the best,
