I would not expect it to perform like a real pilot. I would expect it to perform much, much better than a real pilot. It doesn't need a conscience or self-awareness to do that, it needs situational awareness and the ability to quickly calculate aerodynamic related equations. All you need from the pilot is to point to a spot on a map to tell the aircraft where to go.
