I'm not a pilot. But did anyone else read what he wrote about the steps of descending to prepare for landing and even not understanding all of the terms (which he intentionally left as acronyms as if that means the reader is incapable of understanding the idea. I've always hated this 'trick' to show people how smart you are.) think too yourself, "that actually sounds rather basic and easy." Because I did. And I also thought, shit, I can automate that with a raspberry pi. We can certainly argue over whether having a pilot is a good thing or not. But to say that it's impossible to fly with "autopilot" only (which may be true with 1970's technology, but certainly not true given the technology of today), seems rather short sighted.
