MD11 AUTOLAND CAT III ILS 19R SCHIPOL

MD11 has 2 Autopilots (AP) and Auto Flight System (AFS) provides automatic flying of ILS precision approaches to Cat II, IIIA and IIIB weather minimums. During approach when some prerequisites are satisfied pilots must press the APPR/LAND switch on the Flight Control Panel to arm the land mode. Pilots have to configure flaps, landing gear, spoilers and autobrake manually. Upon localizer capture the aircraft begins to maneuver with a maximum roll rate of 5 degrees/sec and up to 30 degrees of bank to track the localizer, and after established, bank angle limits are changed to 10 degrees. GS capture can occur from above or below the beam with up to 3 degrees intercept. If AFS redundancies are satisfied DUAL LAND is engaged, if not SINGLE LAND or APPR ONLY (manual landing) may be annunciated. Some Redundancy requirements for DUAL LAND: Autothrottle (ATS) engaged Dual ILS tuned operational, and identified with valid ILS courses Dual radio altimeters operational 3 hydraulic systems If crosswind is present (max 15kt) a forward slip runway alignment maneuver is initiated at 150 feet above the ground. Parallel rudder removes crab angle while the upwind wing is lowered to maintain the beam center and aircraft track. Flare mode is initiated automatically at 50ft Radio Altimeter. At flare initiation, a nose up control column pulse is activated to enhance pilot awareness and recognition of beginning of the flare. ATS control to the retard schedule until the aft limit is reached. At touchdown, the sink rate should normally be less than 5 ft/sec and nose lowering commences immediately following touchdown of the main landing gear. After touchdown the AP provides continuous nose down command to ensure firm contact with the runway during the landing rollout phase. Rollout to a stop is under automatic control. When the engine reversers are manually applied by the pilot, the autothrottles are disconnected. During rollout or after a complete stop on the runway centerline the pilot must disconnect manually the AP to continue the taxi to the gate using the nose wheel steering.
