The low wing can be done in the 747 but it isn't recommended. You get a pod strike at only 6-7 degrees and that can be difficult to judge. The autoland will do it but it is more accurate. For us mere mortals we just kick out the crab in the flare....or land sideways. Of course the airplane is designed to do it that way.
