Gentleman, the point that I am trying to make is there will always be something unforseen in engineering airplanes. A more modern version would that 777 that crashed at LHR due to ice in the fuel/ oil heat exchanger. Would an automated plane retract the flaps to avoid the highway? I think pilots will be needed, at least for the next 4 or 5 decades?
