Excellent Towers! This is exactly what I and others were (trying?) to point out at the beginning of this thread I think. Carriers here routinely fly auto-pilot only..actually not even below 1,000' usually all the way through auto-land. And they have SOPs which allow dispatch with 1 AP U/S (on a regular basis). With maintenance issues and fast long haul turnarounds then thrown in, it's a definate safety concern-which I believe is the purpose and point of this forum.
