Don, yeah figured that three autopilots one would work, but who knows what gremlins the plane might have. |
I think OldTownPilot mentioned that the aircraft had three autopilots because he was trying to make the point and benfit of triple redundency systems. There are no gremlins in a 767 that will cause all three independent autopilot systems to fail, we do know this.
You obviously have no expierence or understanding of advanced aircraft operating systems.
In addition to all this hand flying at the upper flight levels is and can be dangerous since the aircraft operating speed envelope is relatively small, sometimes less then a 10 knot of spread.
Reading a book occasionally might be more beneficial than making up farfetched, ridculous inflight situations.
