Yeah, the foot pedals and IAS indicator are glaring omissions. I guess they really just want you to fly with autopilot and autothrust, but good fucking luck setting up autoland without prior experience.
i mean i assume good luck landing without prior experience in general … surely it’d be easier for someone over the radio to walk you through setting some auto things correctly than walking you through how to land?
Yeah, you will need someone to help you. Still, ILS CATIII autoland is a nuanced mode that needs many conditions to fullfill and is complicated to get right. Landing visually (maybe with basic ILS as a guide) is probably easier for someone with no experience.
How could they forget the foot pedals? That’s a whole axis and objectively the most fun controls on the plane.

Set the autopilot, make yourself a coffee while you skim the manual, successful landing.

What’s our vector, Victor?

they should add a big red emergency button behind the pilot seat that allows air traffic control to set it remotely
