No and Yes. No, it’s not permitted to mix manned and unmanned flight- i.e. you can’t be a passenger with a pilot flying you from the ground. Even though this would be technically possible, we have disabled this feature mechanically. However, with SOFI in the “off” position, you can still fly your aeroplane ‘as per normal’ because the original functions are preserved (i.e. it is optionally piloted). This provides maximum flexibility so that you can still do what humans do best (unplanned/ spontaneous/ rapid response).
