Thank God that, when I buy my Jabiru in a few months time, it's going to me and only me who flies it.
Hands off, take it all way from the pilot - it's all wonderful until there is a major power failure on the ground or in the air.
We are rapidly gettingto a point where pilots are systems operators and not bums-on-the seat, hands-on-the-yoke, actually PILOT IN COMMAND of the aeroplane.
Is this really the way we want to go and should the passengers be looking for alternative methods of transportation?
