Jurgen & CoolP,

The RW autoland planes do flare. The flare is dependent on the sink rate during the last part of the approach.
If you have 500 to 700' FPM the flare will be small, but it does flare. Landing at 500 to 700 FPM is not a hard landing, but you would notice it.

When you knock down the passenger oxygen masks in the cabin, now your talking!  :o

I don't have this problem when doing the autoland, but at 100' to go, take a quick scan of the panel and make sure the sink rate is around 500 to 700 FPM. If the sink is near 1,000 FPM the landing most likely will be firm. It's not going to hurt anything landing at 700 FPM, just the smart remarks from the cabin.  ;)

Hey, they paid for a ride and you gave 'em one!
