Cool

Yes, the plane can be set up to autoland itself on an ILS. The copilot would have to sit in the left seat to operate the tiller after rollout. There is nothing to it. The flap lever and gear lever can be reached from either seat. Even plenty of time to read and do the checklist while on A/P. And you can do all that and talk to ATC simultaneously with the push-to-talk switch in the yoke. You wouldn't need a "helper."
