I love flying on DC9s/MD-80s, but that 3-panel front windscreen buggers all. Each of the posts are rather close to the PIC/co-pilot's line of sight. Other'n that, fun plane to fly on.
@scavenger1975 yes, when the airspeed was reduced to around 80 kts the captain disconnected the autopilot and took manual control over the nosewheel steering to vacate the runway
Just the rudders ? I was thinking more like ailerons rudder and elevators ? Is that correct ? Or that might be something on A320 with both autopilots ON, landing CATIII.
The autoland is a system in the aircraft that is steering the rudders by the autopilot at the final, touchdown and rollout during the landing at the runway. The pilots just configures the aircraft to make the autoland in the autopilot and they just need to keep an eye of the situation so that the autolanding is done correctly by the autopilot.

I didnt know those dinosours of an aircraft had autoland. Must of been an aftermarket accessory from autozone.

tack, jag kontaktade dåvarande chefspiloten och fick på så sätt en dags "praktik" på en tur&retur flygning med flygbolaget.

very useful during fog. Low visibility in general. But its interesting to see this be done on MD-80's these are classics.

yeah, and as you can see on this movie, it was a bit crosswind also!

That´s correct, of course the autoland function is steering the ailerons and elevators as well! I wrote a bit un clear
