You might want to hold off on that piece for now, the autopilot code is getting re-written. The current code will follow the waypoints in the current waypoint list. But, if you want to do this in the most flexible way, it seems that your subsystem should be feeding the autopilot lower level target data as required (i.e. modes, headings, pitches, altitudes), through the property interface. The new code will still follow radials and probably the current waypoint functionality will remain, so you could always feed target data through the waypoint interface. As far as "autopiloting" is concerned, I'm not sure of the extent of what you are trying to model. AFIK, even if you've filed a plan and are using a flight computer you still need to clear before climbing or descending, so automatically changing FL and going into climb or descent when a given waypoint is reached would not be accurate behavior. But perhaps I am misunderstanding this.
