Autopilot or sleeping captain

The interview with Kuwaiti Captain Abdulaziz Al-Shaeel clarifies that the common myth about autopilot being an automatic system that operates the aircraft independently is incorrect. Instead, the pilot programs the autopilot and continues to monitor the flight and communicate with air traffic control. He also explains that the mathematics involved in flying are not complicated; rather, they require discipline and focus. Modern aviation relies on the pilot's high level of understanding and discipline, not on extraordinary mathematical genius.
