I agree very much with Shaka Zulu. I am not yet a pilot so i don’t pretend to know the ins and outs; I am also just about to start training with CTC (sorry guys and grls its my fault your pay is all going down.)

But the truth is FMS, GPS INS and all the other more modern aids are designed to make the job easier and more importantly safer, so that pilots time can be spent managing the aircraft rather than needing all his/her attention just keeping it going in the right direction.

I’m sure you will agree that the captain is still in charge on the aircraft so in fact his/her responsibility will not have changed from a captain 20 years ago, although the tools at his disposal have improved.
