As a former pilot, I would put my money on the autopilot and associated sensors (accelerometers, six axis non-sinning gyros, differential GPS, etc.). An autopilot will not exceed the flight parameters of the aircraft. If it can land it will.

I have managed automated landings at sea and in many adverse onshore environments...the circular error of probability (CEP) for the UAS on landing is eye watering - meaning they land in nearly the exact same spot every time.

There is a current debate on UAS minimums for weather given their CEP on landing and the fact that no person is actually moving the sticks. Lastly, diverts are a planned event.

After landings like that I always hang around to thank the crew. I can just imagine the noise level in the main cabin. I was always amazed at how easily big equipment can get tossed around by wind. The flight from London to NY almost always had to fight a headwind and even though I was always in a 747 that thing got tossed around bigly. One thing for sure is that there are a lot of good pilots out there.

Roger that! Challenging days are the most rewarding for sure. Add to that - approaches to mins, especially CAT II's.
