Hd, nope, never had the opportunity to see the system in operation. I'm out of airline business for close to 10 Years. And flew mostly long haul with heavy jets on long RWY's. 2500m was a shorty for us.

If You feel it enhances Yr operation, fine and it is an addition.

I just wanted to state that not all decisions can be made by a computer, especially when ground comes into play.
As far as I know, complex military drones are fully controlled during flight, by far away operators, but shortly after landing a local controller takes it over manually.
Just too many things that can go wrong on the ground, as we all know.

That's why I am not charmed with the experiments with self driving cars in the current road structure. Even more than in aviation, weird situations can develop that go past the programming of the "auto"pilot. It recently cost the life of a driver that trusted the system too much.
