It's only available on a few aircraft and only certified for emergency use. The biggest problem here is not so much the landing as the air traffic control, as the autolanding aircraft is unable to understand and follow directions and so control basically has to treat it as if it is transmitting in the blind. Surprisingly, only a GPS approach is required, not ILS.
