Many key strokes, okay, so lets say it is x, y, z, way point. would you turn a wheel -- >> under this situation i would be on auto pilot so i would do exactly that. >> to program it into the computer next to you that basically tells the auto pilot what you need to do. and what he seems to be reporting is only an experienced pilot with the triple 7 could do that. you agree with that? >> i agree, but im going somewhere with this. this could have been a diversion way point -- >> way point is a poin...
