[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 2419401, member: 11234"] Did you read that closely or just post the headline? The "autopilot" in this case were the two knobs in the cockpit that set direction and altitude. They're not any smarter than cruise control. The autopilot in that A300 was not designed to fly the plane autonomously without the airport being properly equipped. It wasn't. Tragically, the PILOTS forgot protocol into BHM for some reason and FORGOT to disengage it. Ultimately, it was human error, the same as if a driver drove a car into a bridge abutment with the cruise control set to 40. [/QUOTE]
