Scary for us passengers to think that pilots may not be able to do a Go Around in a perfectly working airplane or land visually with competence in good weather. That it could even be a problem.

Due to man/machine interface, fatigue and other factors.

Incidents are still few in view of how many flights were landed visually and how many Go Arounds are done. But one likes to think that Go Arounds and landing visually are as easy as getting the milk out of the fridge and pouring it into a bowl for pilots.

I think , as mentioned previously by others, that new complexities and choices of arming this, dis-arming that. Proceeding on half auto or full manual or full auto makes things unnecessarily complex at critical times and leads to mistakes being made.

Complexity kills. Keeping it Simple should be the rule, because it works.
