The airport is Newcastle England. The autoland controls the flare yes and the touchdown but with this aircraft type once its on the ground the Captain will disconnect the automatics and apply reverse thrust and keep the aircraft on the centreline using the rudder pedals. The autobrakes engaged automatically as usual until theyre disconnected manually.

pretty sure 737 dont have 3 axis autoland therefore it cant be a cat 3 landing.... please correct me if im wrong.....

@amdsasr3

By 3 axis i assume youre referring to the third axis being in the yaw channel ? Youre correct,...the boeing 737/800 doesnt have a rudder input channel to the autopilot. But that doesnt mean it cant do a cat 3 landing. This is a Cat 3 'A' autoland. Theres cat 3 a,b and c all of which have different limitations.

Youre probably thinking of a cat 3 C landing which requires roll out guidance after touchdown. Hope this helps ?

[TheRafamiranda]

you damage the video with taht music

[grakus10]

you shouldn't  play music in this type of videos

[flightoftheunknown]

Wouldve been so much better without the gay music...

[hsguitarist]

Music is the new feature of GPWS

[Barnaby504]

For anyone that is asking why there's music not actual audio... there's the law (depending on where you're flying / what country you are from) and company policies that would gladly fire people breaking policy.

If they can catch the pilots voice or callsign / any pertinent information they will use it to find out who you are and fire you.

Love the music, amazing.

[plianfaa]

People are asking more whine less tune...
