Before the "powers that be" would let us even consider aiming that thing at one of their precious "floating airfields", we had to hit a rectangle of the appropriate size on a runway fifty times or more and be consistant in every way, night and day. Pros make it look easy! Just as they do in any endeavor! Computer controlled landing systems are presently installed on most airliners today that are capable of landing the big birds considerably smoother that most pilots usually do, but they will never be used except in an emergency that incapacitated all the pilots. The Pilots Union would have a hemorrage! That's like the guy that was going to design a tuning machine that would have 240 adjusters to tune all the strings simultaneosly! That goes with the engineer jokes! Warren -- Warren D. Fisher fish@communique.net Registered Piano Technician Piano Technicians Guild New Orleans Chapter 701
