minus-squarepacjo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up14arrow-down1·1 year agoThat’s good and not. The good thing is they found it, but the bad thing is that the autopilot still needs some work. It’s not really an autopilot if it crashes after pilot ejects.
minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up22arrow-down1·1 year agoI’m assuming the pilot didn’t eject from a perfectly good aircraft, so we can’t necessarily blame the autopilot.
minus-squareMNByChoicelinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·1 year agoThey don’t, but the autopilot could use some tweaks. Like turning on a transponder after an ejection while on a training run.
minus-squaresquiblet@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoIt’s surprising they didn’t know exactly where it was at all times. I’d assume it already had GPS transmitter or something on? Maybe they don’t, for stealth. But wouldn’t the FAA know where it is?
minus-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoAlso not very stealthy if they found it after all /s

I don’t think they do auto-landings.
