Yes, Gentlemen, I know the autopilot does a good job, but today the problem is Resolution Advisories: if you still have 3000 ft/min
400 ft before levelling off (which the autopilot DOES) you are gonna scare the other transponders AND ATCO's!
It's still not a legal requirement to reduce rate in the last 1000ft, but it won't take many years before it becomes one.
