“Long trips on the autopilot.”

Maybe two minutes of real flying at each end, especially on the heavies. Almost caused a 747 to plow into San Bruno Mountain on June 28, 1998. They cleared the top of the mountain by 100 ft, luckily missing the 600 ft radio towers.

I never made a coupled approach.

I figured I needed the practice.

Of coerce I was flying my own plane and made my own decisions.
