Narrative:
It appears that a land test 40 should have been accomplished. I do not recall accomplishing a land test 40 nor is it reflected in the signoff. The signoff, pilot report #xx, #yy collectively indicate a flight fault review, no present faults, and testing of the vcc's, 1, 2, and facility, also a power off reset of the FCC 1, 2 with no faults displayed or annual after the test. I do not recall what was in his fault, but by testing the vcc/facility, I felt that the lower minimum performance (autoland) requirements were met to retain lower minimum performance (autoland) status.
