1991Airliner automation: the pilot elects how much the autopilot does, on a ladder from direct manual control to largely autonomous flight. Billings, NASA Ames.
See also: SUPERMAN teleoperator, MIT, 1978: buttons switch among manual control modes and COMPUTER control.
“These roles range from direct manual control of flight path and all aircraft systems to largely autonomous operations ... The pilot may elect to have the autopilot perform only the most basic functions.”
Billings describes what pilots already did with their autopilots, not a proposal.
