Autopilots,like any technology, have drawbacks

Not necessarily related to the Eastland CareFlite "Hard Landing", but as autopilots have been mentioned (edited, hopefully will work):

The link is intended to lead to an NTSB factual report of a 109 night IFR fatal crash 7 OCT 2005. The investigators speculate on autopilot issues.
