Auto lands are usually only used for very poor weather landings. Otherwise most are manual landings. As to when the autopilot is disengaged, could be anywhere down to 50'.....I would say most times it is disconnected below 1000', but it certainly could be higher.
Of course it varies by airplane type and airline.
What were the thoughts on it.....do people think they are all autolands now? Kind of the line of thought some have that 'airplanes are all automatic now'?
