Yeah good thoughts but would you agree that an AP can harm a pilots handling skills????????? so when the shizza hits the fan and the AP is u/s is the pilot still up to a standard where the aircraft can still be operated correctly.
Splat, don't know if I agree with this logic given that all large, commmercial jet aircraft have multiple autopilots and, in reality, are probably easier to fly than a complex turboprop.

Boeing, Airbus and major airlines all see the value in autopilots. Why wouldn't anyone else??
