Pretty impressive!
Just a few corrections:
- There were no passengers on board (at least, not the fee paying kind, although there were some engineers.
- The article title proclaims "without a pilot" and then goes on to tell us that there WAS a pilot on board.
- The article text tells us "A business plane has flown an 800-kilometre round trip in civilian airspace without the pilot on board operating its controls." and then goes on to tell us that the pilot handled the take off and landing.
Call me fussy, but an aircraft without passengers that has got a pilot doesn't really qualify as a passenger plane without a pilot. Especially if the pilot did the take off and landing.
