No, I meant below 1000'. Too much emphasis on autopilot in immediately after take-off, and out at the last minute. The automatics are great, and necessary, when the weather is bad, but are they really needed in clear conditions? As for above 1000', the automatics can fly better and cheaper than the human, especially in the cruise. In retrospect, perhaps I should have said below 5,000'.
