Monitoring everything continuously. When necessary I’ll tell the aircraft to make a change via the autopilot…it’s not flying, I am. Maintaining assigned course, altitude, vertical profiles and power settings is what it does. Until I alter instructions or disconnect it and take over.

Not at night it doesn’t. That’s moonlight.

Ursa Major and Orion with Jupiter over a moonlight sea, a star #scape
#EastCoastKin #PhotoHour #PanoPhotos
A panoramic view of the Earth from 45,000 feet, the moonlit clouds and Caspian Sea appearing curved due to a fisheye lens (I wish I could show the curvature of the Earth but it’s not readily apparent at this altitude). In the starry sky you can see Ursa Major (Big Dipper/Great Bear) on the left and Orion on the right with Jupiter in between.

Autumn is reaching down from the mountains in north east Turkey by the Black Sea with Batumi in Georgia and then Mount Elbrus in Russia on the horizon.

Snow capped ridges ringed with autumn colour rise over still green forested valleys. A blue sea and distant white peak on the horizon beyond a curving coastline. Image taken from 40,000 feet.
