Narrative:

This was an augmented flight. I had the 3rd break; and was woken up 45 minutes prior to landing. When I returned to the cockpit; I was informed that we would be doing a cat III autoland due to fog and reported visibility of 500 meters. All 3 pilots reviewed the cat III autoland portion of the QRH prior to conducting the approach briefing. The captain armed the approach mode and engaged all three autopilots per SOP. We heard the audible 'click' associated with the bus transfers. All call outs were SOP; until the 500 foot call. The 500 foot call was made; but we did not notice that the autoland status annunciator (asa) was blank; nor did the pilot flying (PF) announce 'land 3.' all other call outs were standard. The approach lights came into view at about 150 feet; and the runway environment at about 100 feet. At some point; I believe about the time I made the 'approaching alert height' call out; the captain said we did not have a 'land 3' displayed. At about 50 feet; the relief pilot stated that 'flare' was not displayed. At that point the captain disconnected the autopilot and hand flew the landing. The aircraft floated due to a slight balloon in the flare; at which time the relief pilot said we needed to go-around. The airplane touched down within a few seconds and the remainder of the landing; rollout; and taxi were normal. Once at the gate; we made a maintenance write-up of the autoland system; as well as debriefed the mechanic. We clearly missed verifying the land 3 annunciation; which should have been displayed at 1;500 feet. We also did not verify its presence prior to 500 feet; nor did we catch it at the 500 feet call. Thus; our first indication that something was wrong was when the captain said we did not have a 'land 3.' we should have initiated a missed approach at this point. Instead; it took us several seconds to process what was happening. The first one to realize we should be going around was the relief pilot. By that time the auto flight was off; the runway environment in sight; and the airplane was within a second or two of touchdown.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: B767 First Officers describe a CAT III approach during which LAND III does not appear in the Autoland Status Annunciator (ASA) descending below 1;500 feet and is not detected. Below 400 feet Flare and Roll out does not appear in the ASA and is not detected. Approaching minimums the Captain detects the lack of a Land III indication and disconnects the autopilot to land manually.
