Planes are meant to fly, they fly themselves, and are self correcting. The pilot just points the thing in the right direction. If you're in an a little Embraer or Saab relax those things are built amazingly well.

@terarohana: I'm a little envious of you. Enjoy your trip.

Every airplane that is certified to fly (that is, all of them, really) are built amazingly well... Excepts perhaps Russian and Chinese airplanes, somehow... But if you're flying in North America or Western Europe is very unlikely you'll be in a Russian or Chinese airplane, it's probably a Boeing or an Airbus (if it's a jet airliner), that's state of the art...
