The point is Mr Idunno (aptly named) we already land aircraft in conditions beyond the ability of your average pilot i.e. LVP. The automatics are the first thing you engage when the going gets tough, for mere mortals that is. Simple fact is that the majority of accidents are caused by the crew. When we have systems that can fly fully automated approaches to cat3 accuracy anywhere then we won’t need Biggles up front will we? A competent Capt Kirk will be much safer.
