Innflight is correct. Expecting automation to be better than handflying is not what a pilot should be. The pilot should be better than automation. A pilot has the ability to use judgement on what is happening at the moment. He can annalyze what is a possible problem on his approach such as windwhear and other factors. I always assume an autoland approach will throw me the airplane in a bank and have me recover at low altitude as it has happened to me and I have to recover. Human intervention fixed it.
