From what we see on the screenshot: - You are way above glideslope - AP is OFF So what do you expect from the master caution, GS indication and EICAS message in that condition?

Yeah, the autopilot is off, it was disconnected earlier in the approach. There's no way it should be giving a master caution at 10 feet off the ground. The master caution and line through the GS FMA means the autopilot is operating in a degraded condition. Considering it wasn't even engaged, it means it's not operating at all. So if it's not operating at all, it shouldn't be warning me that it's degraded.

On a side note, you will always end up either full scale above or below the glideslope at 10 feet off the ground when landing manually. There's no pilot who can follow the GS all the way through the flare and touchdown, it just doesn't happen. And my reference for that is an ATPL with 4000 hours on the 737-800 and 1000 hours on the 747-400 (which is the type I'm current on now).

I really don't think you should be trying to pass this off as normal behaviour, unless every 757 pilot in real life gets an autopilot caution during manual flight at 10 feet off the ground. I find that hard to believe, but I'm happy to be proven wrong.
