approach coupler

An electronic linkage between the ILS (instrument landing system), the automatic flight control, and the autopilot.

Although the accident report doesn't confirm it, the aircraft was almost certainly equipped with an approach coupler. Yet the pilot appeared to have hand-flown the approach in a way, according to the radar track, that wasn't wildly out of control, but that eventually reached sufficient pitch up and bank to cause a stall.

Smart autopilots: is there a downside? New autopilots poke their nose in even when the system is technically off. Is this lifesaving technology or a sales gimmick with a dark side? Or is it both?
