Do NOT let the AI Pilot Taxi your GA Plane

So today, after a great (short) flight IFR from KDCA to KIAD in the C172 – (great because we made it and landed at KIAD before any CTDs), to “Celebrate” I let the AI Pilot taxi us to GA parking.

OH BOY – What a BIG Mistake that was – Good job he has Insurance ??

Well, while he was getting us to GA Parking, I took out my Phone, and shot this video.

You have to watch it, because words cannot describe what an EXPENSIVE experience it was …

(Asobo needs to watch it as well, as it highlights just how UNQUALIFIED the AI pilot is to taxi, and the GA Ground staff are to take care of Pilots & their Planes.)

Sit back, “learn something” , ( I did ) and be thankful it was not your plane …

1st part is x8 as he taxis really slow !!! When he gets to GA Parking, its down to x2

well in general AI pilot is a nightmare, it cannot fly your aircraft either, it simply cannot follow the waypoints etc, Like many other skills and features as compared to the release version, AI pilot has become a flop since 1.9.3 update, not sure if MSFS team downgrades many of the superior features intentionally or not.
