Mxsmanic,
If you fly a plane manually, and a problem with control surfaces
develops and progresses, you'll find it more and more difficult to
fly. If you have an autopilot, you'll notice nothing until the
problems with the control surfaces reach a point that is beyond the
ability of the autopilot to compensate.

Utter, complete nonsense.

How can you claim Mxsmanic doesn't know what he's talking about, when
you yourself make such obviously incorrect statements?

Do you remember, for easy example, the commuter flight that dove in a
few years ago because it iced up to the point of tail-stalling, but
their autopilot hid that condition until it was turned off?
