<<Well, it may have been on autopilot, but I would suggest that having it that way would be negligence on the US pilot's part since he would not have had immediate control of the aircraft, IMO.
But I'm not sure if the autopilot disengages automatically once the pilot goes "hands on".>>

Should have known I would find you over here<grin>

Been awhile since I was in the air navy but you are dead wrong about the autopilot. This would be normal procedure. Being on autopilot by no means implys the pilot is not in full control of his aircraft. Autopilot can be overridden by the pilot taking control of the "stick".

Don't you imagine there is some scrambling right as we speak from the American manufacturers, and seeking alternative sources? This whole MESS must surely be opening eyes around the United States...

As for export tariffs, remember that many Chinese parts are used as subcomponents to higher valued US equipment assembled here. So you don't want to hurt US manufacturers until they can develop replacement suppliers
