[QUOTE="HFolb23, post: 5086243, member: 55674"] Autopilot can indeed land, however due to the processes and red tape involved to make it happen it’s estimated that less than 1% of all landings are done via autoland, usually only in fog. The Airbus A380 can have the autopilot set while on the ground, but most autopilots can’t be engaged until they’re above a certain altitude. Surely if a truck can autonomously move on a freeway then it should be simple to taxi an aircraft in a setting where all movements are handled by a central tower right? So why aren’t they? If you’re a feeder driver then you understand exactly where the pretrip and post trip inspections occur, and if you’re not a feeder driver I guess you really shouldn’t be commenting on a job that you don’t do.
