How many more miles are traveled on an airplane between two destinations versus a straight arc.?


The primary job of the pilot is to have a thinking human on board who can handle non-standard operating situations such as emergencies. Although autopilot systems can control the aircraft from takeoff through landing there is no substitute for human intervention when something goes wrong. There's always the risk of some confused student pilot wandering into controlled airspace and the autopilot system can't account for that, nor is it likely that it will ever be able to.

Nearly all passenger planes today are flown by computer. They can also be flown by hand. Some of the things pertinent to controlling the aircraft are not done by computer.
Boeing 737 is an example, and have been equipped for several years with a computer controlled autopilot that after line up on the centerline by the pilot(s) can take off, go to a preset altitude (in steps if necessary} fly to the destination and land within one foot of the centerline.
For takeoff the pilot(s) must taxi to the runway centerline, set flaps, and after takeoff, retract flaps and gear. Upon arrival, they must set flaps, extend landing gear and taxi to the terminal.
