Aeronautical Engineer says Official 9/11 Story Not Possible

Hi John;

This is correct as far as I know anyway. Investigators concluded, and indeed
what I saw personally confirm that during the final stage of the descent
curve on the second plane at least, the airplane was being flown manually
with the AP disengaged. The first plane might have been on AP as the flight
path was within the cutout parameters, but even there, the educated guess is
that Ata disengaged the AP for the final approach to the building.
This was the general assumption based on the aircraft behavior, plus
investigative results that indicated a common plan for the mission was in
place for both "pilots" in both aircraft.

AUTOPILOT

Not. Autopilot is great for basic straight and level. Maneuvering for a
building collision would require hand flying the jet.
