Q

What causes the red AUTOLAND light to illuminate?

A

RFLAG

Radio altimeters
Flare
Localiser
Autopilot
Glideslope

The red AUTOLAND light is armed below 200ft.

further information:
- Radio altimeters differ by >15ft
- Flare is long or untimely
- Localiser: deviation or loss of signal down above 15ft
- Autopilot loss
- Glideslope: deviation or loss of signal above 100ft
