I'm waiting patiently. If all it takes is UAS training to keep this from happening again then do the UAS training so even the automatic airplanes can be flown with automation inop with a qualified pilot. I never flew one that the throttles didn't move and you just monitored so feel fortunate.

My J3's and Twin Beeches, Lears, biplanes and Boeings didn't have much of that magic stuff. Had autoland at the end but never did one outside the sim.

I prefer yokes and sticks because you can see what everybody is doing and it feels really good when you hit a bump and if your hand moves an inch or two you are still stable. You don't have to worry about potentiometers and all that electronic magic.
