How is autoland typically flown when briefed per Frontier policy?

• A. As a CAT II or CAT III Autoland
• B. As a Visual Approach
• C. As a Standard CAT I Approach
• D. With Manual Flight

Answer: (A)

Autoland is used to land automatically when weather and procedure require instrument-based guidance. Frontier policy briefs autoland specifically for CAT II or CAT III conditions, meaning the autopilot and landing system handle the approach and touchdown under low-visibility minima with the crew monitoring. These categories allow landings with reduced visibility that aren’t possible under higher-minima approaches. A Visual Approach relies on the pilot maintaining visual reference, and a Standard CAT I Approach operates with higher minimums and is typically not performed as an autoland. Manual Flight would be hand-flown without the automatic landing system. So, when autoland is briefed, it’s carried out as a CAT II or CAT III Autoland.
