Is is not a natural progression of present automated systems?
All Manual,
Altitude Hold,
Heading Hold,
Auto - Fix Navigation,
Auto - Route Navigation
Optimum Level Determination etc...
Auto - Land
Especially when the numbers are getting tighter and there are things like Flex (I think I understand this) etc....
Surely there is a sound argument for this as the next step?
This is not intended to pi$$ off the pilots, it is a genuine question.
