The automatic pilot system can take over a flight from takeoff to landing, allowing pilots to avoid continuous manual control.
In reality, all aircraft are equipped with an automatic control system designed to reduce the workload on pilots while ensuring a safer and easier flight experience.
However, the automatic pilot system is merely a supportive tool; pilots are always the ones who maintain primary control and oversight throughout the entire flight process. In addition to managing the flight, pilots also ensure communication with air traffic control, ground personnel, and cabin crew when there are changes in altitude, flight direction, speed, holding patterns, approach to landing, and compliance with regulations.
During critical phases such as takeoff and landing, especially in adverse weather conditions, pilots will directly control the aircraft and seek out the safest and most comfortable flight options.
