Because Cesnas are very lightweight, low powered, and cheap.
And I was thinking of the sort of modern autopilot that could actually navigate flying a complex pattern over a city in order to best show off the banner.
Having said that, I bet there’s some law against using autopilot at such low altitudes.
Go read something.
Even Hondas have backup cameras and other driver conveniences. What does any of what you said have to do with autopilot?
And an autopilot can be as simple as trim control, if you think it’s only a total driving system, that’s on you.
In this case, we’re talking about flying preset routes at low altitude over a city … not trim control
No. You manually make a turn, set autopilot to go straight and level, then turn when needed, then Set autopilot again. Repeat.
I don’t even think modern autopilots are capable of doing what you’re suggesting here. What gives you this idea?
Large aircraft can perform complex routes by autopilot.
What you’re saying is that the plane is still being piloted by a human. Not autopilot, and certainly not autopilot guided by AI.
Drones can do that stuff, though.
The pilot makes adjustment, most of the flight is done automatically.
It’s like farmers equipment, there’s still a driver even though he can nod off and nothing will go wrong. And if it does, alarms go off.
And how complex is complex? They can make prescribed turns and adjustments, but not what you are suggesting. Got a link or something? And funnily enough, those would be electronic systems. Not the wholly hydraulic like you were originally talking about.
Do you have a point you want to stick to? Or you just throwing whatever comes to your mind out? Maybe google some of this first? It’s all readily available online.
I really don’t care, I was just saying what crossed my mind
So you just make up an entirely fake system and argue that’s how stuff works in real life?
That’s not how people have conversations dude.
No more than you did. And you moved the goalposts a couple of times there.
I’m still certain that that plane doesn’t have an autopilot … even one taken from a tractor.
