FAA wants pilots to be less dependent on computer autopilots

We call it George

Being a pilot myself, I can relate to, too much dependence on George. We practice surprise auto pilot failures. You would be surprised on how long the gap can be before catching up to the problem and regaining control. But we always do, that's why we practice it. If all else fails just turn the thing off and fly the airplane.
