Aircraft; Human Factors; Procedure
While en route; we received an ACARS notification that the aircraft required an auto land. It was the First Officer's leg; and he planned on executing an auto land at our final destination. The weather was VMC and not a factor. We did a normal brief for the arrival and approach. We received vectors to the ILS runway 06 into RSW. After capturing the localizer and glidepath and finishing all checklists we flew the approach. On short final we both commented that the aircraft was lined up right of centerline approximately 40 feet right of centerline. The runway was 150 feet wide. We let the aircraft accomplish the auto land; which was deemed by me as unsuccessful because the aircraft remained right of centerline for the entire approach/landing/rollout. After disconnecting autopilot on rollout; we corrected back to centerline and taxied clear of runway. After logging the unsatisfactory auto land; we entered the comments into the logbook and briefed the mechanic on duty. Upon return to the airport 12 hours later; we discovered that in the airport briefing guide that auto lands to runway 06 were not authorized. I called [the company] while on ground; and explained what transpired the previous [flight] and to please notify maintenance of my erroneous write up. Comments for my performance are that I need to review airport briefing guide better and capture the error prior to commencing the approach. We were both tired after a long night of flying; and this might have been a factor in my missing the note about restricted auto lands in RSW runway 06.
Air carrier flight crew reported completion of an unauthorized autoland after receiving a request from the company.
