"The King Air pilots monitored Emergency Autoland throughout its operation and remained prepared to resume manual control if the system malfunctioned."
The operator states that the crew monitored the system's performance, attempted radio communication where possible and remained ready to retake control. The event therefore demonstrates autonomous technical execution combined with continuing human supervision and operational responsibility. This is especially relevant to the book's broader discussion of automation, hidden complexity and the role of human decision-making.
