Vilnius - Automatics were engaged and were still available (autopilot A I believe would have worked) after B hydraulics were turned off. Would the aircraft have crashed anyway if the automatics were engaged? If you clear the warning system for the hydraulic failure and don't monitor flap deployment then even with the AutoPilot engaged, the outcome is uncertain.
Toronto - Was the aircraft fitted with AutoLand? Would it have been within wind limitations to autoland even if it was fitted?
I get where you are coming from, the automatic system designers have to be confident that they've thought of EVERY possible outcome before the automatics can take over. Thing is, this just ain't possible as aviation whilst mostly certain, is subject to threats which can put you outside of the design envelope for the systems. We don't have statistics for the number of times pilots have saved an aircraft load of people due automation failure (it's called just doing the job - report it to maintenance afterwards). If we did, I suspect this thread would cease to exist.
