very interesting. though I had a slight idea of the differences , it is very instructive. During some of my own trial sessions with the FS Cessna 172 , I managed to make a full ILS auto landing. Went OK although a little more flare would be helpful for a smooth landing; guess CATIII auto landing systems have a flare included?
Depends on the aircraft. CAT III and AUTOLAND are two distinct things. The category is really a "standard" - autoland is a system that relies on various piece of hardware and redundancy being in place.
Hello! this is very interesting, I am wondering what is the correlation between the length of the runway and the category of ILS? if there is one! Thank you!

I was recently wondering what they all meant, so thanks for this write up. It's very useful.
I'm learning at the same time :) I completely forgot to include class A, B and C within Cat III!

There is no connection between length of runway and category of ILS. It's all about the hardware installed.
