Re: Pilotless A/C

But what if the autopilot would have been configured to go further than just the holding facility. I know thats not the done thing but isn't it conceiveable that a crew could program the system so that as soon as the aircraft takes off, the plane will fly itself to destination and make an approach?

That sounds fairly achieveable to me, so surely there must be limitations to the systems?
