Yeah that was his position, that all landings except the really hard ones are auto, I was pretty sure it was the opposite, that machine landings are only when it's so bad the pilot can't even see the runway.

Though I am surprised at how close to the plane actually touching down the planes are on automatic, most times below 1000' I would not have guessed.

Then I said that control of the margarita machine is fully manual for the entire flight
