it behaves like a normal aeroplane under a specific set of circumstances, and all the pilot has to do is fly it like a normal aeroplane
And therein lies the problem.
As the systems have improved, the point at which they fail keeps getting deeper and deeper into the areas that make the aircraft unnecessarily hard to fly. At some point, as they keep progressing, the 'system' will hand over a larger and larger bag of **** each time.
Airbus has had the effect of weakening pilot skills because they've automated a lot of the day to day stuff...but at the same time, when it all goes tits-up, you'll need those very same weakened skills.
Just a thought.....
