Sorry, 411A, the KSSU (KLM, SAS, SR, UTA+) version of the DC10-30 had the AINS-70, Area Inertial Navigation System, beginning in 1973. It would fly a complete trip, including tuning the ILS receivers for the approach. It had over 13,000 waypoints and company routes in its internal database. About all the pilot had to do was select route, SID and STAR.

It also had a NAV/ILS switch on the glareshield, mode annunciator in the HSI, etc.
