Father and Son, Airplane to Airplane

That's a great and inspiring story. I'm based in Sydney, to which the writer refers. I was fortunate to be able to purchase a 1964 model PA30 just last year, with which my father had a personal connection.

Airbus just acquired a prop plane to act as a research lab in the sky, collecting data to develop self-flying aircraft – here's how it works

The story behind this story is that the Beech Baron and aircraft just like her will never be replaced by a self-flying a/c because they are designed for people who love to pilot aircraft. How extremely ironic!

Watch AI-controlled virtual fighters take on an Air Force pilot August 18th

Nice comment Darius. That is exactly why I keep a street directory in my glove compartment. And I qualified for an IFR rating for GPS based runway approaches. If we all lived in Utopia, then Sascha would have a point, but given the prevalence of totalitarian megalomaniacs around the world, thinking of PRC, Russia, N. Korea, Iran, then that is just a delusional pipe dream.

Garmin’s Autoland system secures FAA certification

So what happens if for any number of reasons the GPS coverage/accuracy is degraded? (which happens routinely). Just take a look at the Notams.

NTSB Public Docket Reveals Crew Confusion, Training Discrepancies in Atlas Air 3591 Downing

Just in regard to the (elevator) control surfaces moving in opposite directions, this is true for aircraft certified to the later requirements (maybe post approximately the late 1970's). The theory being to guard against jammed controls. It was not the case in the Fokker F28 for example, certified circa 1968, but would be true for the F100 circa 1987.
