A key question is whether the plane's advanced flight management system -- the autopilot -- might have played a role in the most recent crash as it did in the fatal crash of an Indonesian Airlines 737 MAX 8 last October. In that crash, it appears the pilots failed to disengage the autopilot when the plane's nose began pitching up and down,

What if there is no target altitude in the SID.

Thank you

Is it possible auto pilot altitude target was set to zero by mistake?
