Plane landing next to beach - Page 2

The pilots only put it on autopilot when they're on a cruise to a destination point, not when taking off or landing. Most pilots control the plane when landing or taking off. Computers cannot determine the winds, power, length of runaway to take off or land themselves so pilots do the job. They earn average of $120,000 a year.

Oh, wow, that's interesting, I haven't heard about it. That's pretty new to me. Heh, guess I studied on the old-fashion classic planes such as the World War 2 planes era too much.

BTW, thanks for the link.
