Auto landing systems
A new American science fiction series last night called "Finge" from the makers of lost had a B747 landing itself to a standstill after all on board were killed, the aircraft was on auto on pre programmed flight plan.

I know autopilots are sophisticated these days, but are they that advanced yet??? or this just another one of those TV playing with fact stories?

I found this on the net, Satellite Navigation & Air Traffic Control and Landing Systems (SATNAV & ATCALS)

has it made it in to Airbus and Boeing yet?
