Which statement best represents Frontier's autoland memory item?

• A. Frontier's Autoland Policy Requires An Autoland Setup Whenever Possible
• B. Frontier Autoland Is Never Used Unless Required By ATC
• C. Frontier's Autoland Policy Is To Avoid Autoland When Unnecessary
• D. To Minimize The Chances Of A Go Around, Frontier's Policy Is To Set Up And Brief For An Autoland IF The Reported RVR/Visibility Is At Or Below 1/2 Mile Or 2400 RVR AND All Of The Requirements For An Autoland Can Be Met (Environmental, Aircraft Approach Capability, Ground Equipment, Etc.), The Approach Will Be Briefed And Flown As A CAT II Or CAT III Autoland

Answer: (D)

Frontier's autoland memory item centers on proactive readiness to land with autoland when weather and conditions allow, to minimize go-arounds. The best approach is to set up and brief for an autoland if the reported RVR/visibility is at or below 1/2 mile (or 2400 RVR) and all requirements for an autoland can be met—environmental, aircraft approach capability, ground equipment, etc.—and then brief and fly the approach as a CAT II or CAT III autoland. This policy prioritizes planning ahead for low-visibility landings, ensuring the crew, aircraft systems, and ground support are all prepared before proceeding, which reduces the chance of an unnecessary go-around. The other approaches imply autoland use is either automatic, never used unless ATC requires, or avoided when not strictly necessary, which contradicts the stated condition-based preparation and briefing for autoland when the visibility falls to or below the specified threshold.
