Chill out, dude. My current steed has no autoland,yet somehow I manage to perform CAT IIIA ILS approaches manually down to 50ft DH with 100% success rate so far. Of course that automatics could replace me on that simple task yet they don't; I'm cheaper than autoland capable George. If the manufacturers were really trying to design pilot out of A/C completely, every machine out there would be epic failure.

For those pilots trying to bend the limitations or boldly going where no sane pilot has ventured before, yes. For the rest of the A-brand pilot population, not so.

What is your definition of immense show up when we're discussing the statistics of small numbers?
