Good morning APS - thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this worthy cause, and for your continued work in this critical area of training. As more fleets modernize, and auto-pilot operations become increasingly SOP, a potential UPRT topic could be how reliance on autopilots contribute to the risk of LOC. Sub-topics such as how factors such as icing or erroneous ADC inputs have contributed to historical LOC events could be included, as well as how human factors come into play due to the relaxed attitudes of aircrew during auto-pilot ops (especially en route).
