We all have our realism points, of course.  Autoland is there if I need it, but I'm happier landing it myself.  And, the more I fool with it, maybe the better autolandings I'll get.

Unfortunately, the perfect airplane made up of my favorite parts from each without the bugs of any does not yet exist :-)  I adopted the motto "happiness through lowered expectations" years ago and it has served me well in every aspect of my life.

It sometimes feels like the goal post keeps moving, though.  Autoland crashes your airplane.  Autoland doesn't crash your airplane, but it will not flare and you get a pancake landing.  Autoland flares, but it isn't a realistic flare.  Autoland does land your airplane at a reasonable nose-up attitude, but -300 vs isn't comfortable  ::)

If this trend continues, I can only imagine where I'll be in another two weeks  ;D  It will probably fly me bodily to the Ukraine and paint eggs for me.
