Article Title and/or Image Caption: An Emergency Pilot
extracted text: AN EMERGENCY PILOT that pulls a plane back to level flight if something happens to the human pilot is saving the lives of British airmen. Unlike the ordinary automatic pilot, which is set to keep a plane flying straight and level, the new pilot automatically takes over from whatever position the plane may be in at the moment the human pilot releases the controls. In big bombers, this assumption of control gives other members of the crew enough time to take the stick if their pilot is incapacitated.
