What a great fim! I love the bit with the test pilot nonchalantly talking to the camera over his shoulder as the aircraft descends through two hundred feet. Talk about confidence in the autoland system.

Forty years later I am not sure how much things have improved. I certainly would not feel comfortable doing that on my 737....not after the autopilots tripped out in the flare a few weeks ago! Certainly got my attention.
