Thank you, Tex!

I'm not asking for the machine to tell me how to fly the airplane. I'm asking for the machine to tell me why it gave up and gave control to me!
When the plane is doing so much, and the pilot(s) less, then this is what we get.

A simple caution light when the AP/AT disconnected would have been very useful to this old dinosaur - "Hey, Gums, your pitot system is FUBAR!"
