This was given to me by our local FAA safety guy, to share with our
airport user's group. The stark terror in her voice is chilling, and
really points out how quickly things can go bad.

Speaking pilots on tape. Did any else hear the story on NPR's Morning
Edition this morning about the guy with the autopilot that would release and
he had to land while fighting the AP. The controller talked him through the
GPS approach because he couldn't take hands off the controls to set up the
instruments.

If you didn't it is probably on thier website by now.
