It could also be a man on the wing...

One of the best Twilight Zone episodes ever.  A young William Shatner.  Fresh out of the looney bin.

I had the same reaction. For me, “approach” is not synonymous with “coupled approach” so it wasn’t obvious at first that this was an autopilot discussion. But I think that’s where we landed.

That said, I do like the basic fact pattern followed by a “what do you do” question - always interesting to hear different takes.
