So (talking 747-400), if the whole route including the approach is programmed in early enough, and ATC clears the way, the computer will put you on the ground on a runway? But you might be too fast as the flaps are manually controlled? Is that correct? Does it brake itself?
Remember first trip on a 744 was coming back to LHR from SIN during the first gulf war and did that take a long route back, amazing how long those things can stay in the air. Managed to get invite onto the flight deck and was amazed how such a small room can control such a mammoth beast. The temptation to start clicking all those switches was so strong had to sit on my hands. Wouldn't know where to start. Captain came on after landing to say the whole approach was controlled by ATC, which I still don't fully understand, but sounded impressive. That was over 15 years ago.
