I had one flight that the AI copilot almost completed successfully. The approach was flown perfectly but ATC had the aircraft go-around. The AI copilot flew the missed approach perfectly and followed ATC vectors back to the airport. The next landing attempt was waved off by ATC and the AI copilot flew the missed approach perfectly. However, something went wrong with the 3rd approach attempt and the aircraft crashed short of the runway. Overall, I was impressed with the AI copilot performance. It wasn’t perfect but neither am I. Personally, after a long flight I would be worn out flying three landing attempts and two missed approaches and probably would have crashed trying to land.
We know the AI copilot, the Garmin, the FMS, ATC, AI traffic aren’t perfect. As pilots we have to recognize when automation breaks down that we turn it off and recover manually. When the autopilot doesn’t work correctly and starts spinning the aircraft towards the ground, we know to disconnect the AP and perform spin recovery. (You do know how to recover from a spin, right?)
