Has anyone put together a list of flightsim aircraft that can Autoland in P3D, & similarly those that can Autoland in XP?

If not, can readers advise of any Autoland aircraft they know of?

Thanks

Most modern airliner, or even some 70s' "Classical" airliner can autoland.

The Caravelle and Trident did have autoland already in the 1960s, but I think that this wasn't the OPs question.

I would take a look at the product description if the add-on you want has autoland modelled.

The default 737 is capable of landing itself once you capture the ILS.

1. There's no default 737 in P3D.

2. The default 737 in FSX is not autoland equipped.

Are you looking for aircraft that can autoland in real life or for aircraft that can autoland in P3D? In P3D even a Cessna can autoland, if you want to.

That's new to me. Which Cessna flares and reduces the power to idle on its own?

 If you don't care about realism you can let a Cessna land while on AP = autoland....In P3D almost EVERY plane (with an AP) can 'autoland'.

Don't know what this has to do with realism.  IRL you can also land an aircraft without any problems by letting it follow the ILS until hitting the runway, but that's not an autoland.

It was a specific question by the OP but your reply doesn't make much sense, it only creates confusion.

I'll come back in here before crockery starts flying around the room.😊

What I meant was flight sim aircraft in P3D or XP that can be set on AP & the AP can take it down onto the tarmac, & the pilots sit on their hands until roll out. [Aircraft lands itself]

As opposed to an ILS approach where the pilot disengages the AP a certain distance out & hand flies to the runway.

 I vaguely recall managing an Autoland in a PMDG 747 & having to push 3 AP buttons, (I think). Not sure if it had 3 AP systems, but I think 3 buttons were pushed to get the aircraft to land itself, basically.

& I wondered if any other P3D or XP flight sim aircraft are equipped so that they can be set up "to land themselves", for want of a better term.

If it's about payware add-ons I don't think that there's a single one which can't perform an autoland if the RW aircraft can do it.

E.g. the PMDG 737,  Aerosoft A320, Captainsim L1011 etc. can for sure perform an autoland.

Again, I suggest to check the product description (or youtube videos) of the aircraft you are interested in.

The 747 and a few other airliners have three AP systems, but e.g. the A320 and the 737 have only 2.

There may be an "autoland" gauge available depending on your version of P3D.  I have one setup in FSX for one of my 737.  I know the A321 in FSX will do an autoland.  This is configuring the aircraft surfaces for proper landing and adjusting the AT for proper landing speed.   Unfortunately,  there is no flare when landing.  Kind of a 3 point landing takes place.  Once on the runway, you need to kill the A/P and A/T.

NO, it doesn't. Again, if the aircraft doesn't flare and it doesn't reduce power on its own, it's not an autoland! 

Autoland means that the autopilot automatically flares the aircraft and automatically reduces thrust to idle.

None of these things are happening in e.g. the FSX default 737 or A321. 

Btw, since the A321 flies the approach with a nose up attitude, even a no flare touchdown shouldn't happen in a 3 point attitude.

@FDEdev

Try not to be too picky.  Most folks will consider an autoland to be that the pilot can have hands off all the way to touchdown.  Then the pilot will kill the A/P and A/T and slow the aircraft down and turn off the runway. I think that's what the OP is looking for.  If he is looking for what you are describing, then he will be parting with some money for quality payware aircraft.

I don't think that I'm 'picky'. Like Flamingpie you are very likely just causing confusion. 

The OP specifically mentioned the PMDG 747 and its autopilot system, so I do think that he knows what he wants 😉

For the sake of the crockery.......can the OP please confirm that he wants an aircraft that automatically flares and reduces thrust to idle just before touchdown? In other words, like a real world autoland?
