September 17, 201312 yr FCOM says Autoland works with Flaps 20 selected. I've found you need to be configured for landing at about 5 miles DME on the ILS for Autoland to become active Tony Simpson FLYING FROM EGKK, The worlds busiest single runway Airport.
September 17, 201312 yr Commercial Member It is related to radio altitude - at 1500 ft RA if it detects the aircraft is not configured and within certain limits on the ILS, it will NOT autoland, hence the NO AUTOLAND message. Autoland mode is locked out at that point. Best regards, Robin.

Yes, the plane will still follow the glideslope, but you will need to manually flare the airplane and retard thrust. Ho Cheung
