First of all, the picture is a bloody lie. I can see a cup of coffee and pieces of paper both of which are not allowed in the cockpit.
Staged, we all know.

Did you see it anywhere on the thread that the photo is real?

MissJoy29:
Not true. Some newer aircraft models allows for autopilot landing.

The thing is, whether the plane is cruising seamlessly at it's highest altitude or is about landing, so far as it's on auto-pilot, the captains still need to be in the cockpit for monitoring. So it's not as if they will engage auto-pilot and then go to sleep. They will still be alert because the system might just need to alert them to take over especially in severe turbulence.
They call it autoland, dexpendable said it.

But i learnt it can only be activated during landing approach, when the when the runway is around 600meters away.

Please check this.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoland
Yea, the first statement says 'Landing Procedure' with the 'Crew/Pilot' supervising the process and also check the limitations given in the description.


Autoland are usually used when runway visibility is less than 600meters away, according to the source(Pictured).


But is it possible to activate Autoland from 30,000ft, hundreds or thousands of miles away from the airport (@Thread topic)

My first response to yours, am talking about unmanned technology right from takeoff - landing.

You might want to check that again.
Yea, they're still working on that technology(Takeoff/landing).


Handling of the traffic in the airports, other planes taxing/landing/taking off, crosswind/storm/weather, icy/wet runaway, topography of the airport and deciding the right runway to land.


Please help me check world's most dangerous airports to land a plane or takeoff.


E.g. St.Marteen in the Caribbean, short runway close to the sea and another airports on the mountain.

Most times, pilots need to relaunch 2-3 time before landing successfully in these airports.

Those are the challenges the last time i checked.

Autopilot can only maintain a course, altitude and speed. Cannot land.

This is the view inside the synagogue on an ordinary day. It is unknown how many people were inside when the gunman opened fire but it was busier than usual, with worshipers observing the Sabbath.

Some were also there to attend a ceremony either for a bris, an infant's circumcision, or a baby naming ceremony.

The antisemitic gunman who opened fire on a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday morning, killing eleven and injuring six more, has been named as 46-year-old Robert Bowers.


Bowers opened fire at the Tree of Life Congregation Synagogue in the Squirrel Hill area of Pittsburgh shortly before 10am.

He burst through the synagogue's doors and opened fire on a Shabbat service congregation on the main floor where around 40 to 50 people had gathered, shouting 'all Jews must die!'.

After killing three people on the main floor, he went downstairs, where the New Light congregation was gathering in the basement, and opened fire there.

He murdered four people there then fled upstairs where, on the third floor, he exchanged fire with SWAT teams and injured four police officers.

After being injured himself in the crossfire, Bowers surrendered to police.

He is now in custody.

His motive remains unconfirmed.




Paramedics race to get a victim from Saturday's shooting to the hospital outside the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh.

This is a setup! The deep state is at work. Who came close to where the FBI are operating to take all these pictures? How did the person know an FBI arrest was about to go down? They even took pictures of what is inside the man's car in the middle of FBI operation? undecided
FBI, CIA, all U.S. Police department have their personal photographers. And this is not a jungle where photojournalists are harassesd, they have freedom to cover/document events like this.


You as a citizen, is your right to use your phone if you have contact with police or the military.



Your last statement, the van was spotted days ago.

You've not seen a situation where there will be bombing/shooting spree and moments later photos/videos capturing the culprit hours or even days before the attack will surface.

Before, drafting required pencils, erasers, t-squares, and much more time.

And the photos below really show it. Looking at them, you can almost hear the rustling paper.

Technological advances cause some professions to cease to exist, but in the case of drafting technicians, it just made their desks smaller and tidier.

AutoCAD was released in 1982 and by 1994 as many as 750 training centers had been using it worldwide.
