It already takes a person to push to accept. Just because a plane can fly by itself, it does not always make it safe to do so. Until they take drivers out of cars, they will not take them from planes either. Who would fly on a plane with no pilot?

The day they design the airliners like a drone... and bypass the human on the plane aspect, is the day we will be in trouble.<br />But planes today... glad it can't happen. You know there is something entertaining in the works already with this happening. Comedy...and a thriller. <br />Love the analogy...now will hold my breath until I fly again.

The pilots would then have to explicitly activate that new uploaded plan. <br />So, it's a bit like saying he could hold his breath if he got to the moon. He might be able to get there, but once there, nah, that isn't going to work.Bill Palmer: flybywirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774800444965197750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-41254098195956847632013-04-23T09:39:03.175-07:002013-04-23T09:39:03.175-07:00A problem in the future?

However I stick with Ms Petitt's words: "We the pilots can kick off the automation and fly the planes without it." <br /><br />Now, if that's the case that hypothetical app wouldn't need some kind of "router" or something? Honestly I don't see it possible. Current aircraft are practically winged computers so I don't see them that vulnerable. <br /><br />Greetings :) Mario.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15851806490247123443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-31619806788964601552013-04-23T09:22:25.600-07:002013-04-23T09:22:25.600-07:00This is exactly why humans need to be flying plane...This is exactly why humans need to be flying planes. And I am sure there are dangerous minds out there trying to develop systems to do so much more than this. And these are very scary thoughts however I feel safe knowing that companies do all they can to prevent this and out trump those who wish to infiltrate the systems. <br /><br />On a side note I remember seeing a smartphone app also for iPod where it syncs to a PC based Level D simulator. As information would be entered into a person's FMC/S, radios, it would in real time follow suit. So rest assured this will not make its way out of the virtual world. <br /><br />Thank you for this great post!<br /><br />Jeremy.

But there are redundant safety's built into the system and the industry itself that insure this type of breach doesn't happen. It may be an original thought to someone desperate to commit mass murder but rest assured this very scenario was entertained by the system creator's. Without compromising safety by divulging trade secrets it is a fact that this type of aircraft take over could never happen. But for those of you who can't see behind the reinforced cockpit door, remember no matter what the level of automation the aircraft has there is still a switch that disconnects the auto flight system and our airlines spend a lot of money making sure we know what to do when that switch is turned off.Captain JC Kidder ATPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480959416002328269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-67612709996283579262013-04-23T07:04:33.166-07:002013-04-23T07:04:33.166-07:00Only if they remove the (wo)man from the cockpit :...Only if they remove the (wo)man from the cockpit :)D.B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16311812701887962320noreply@blogger.com
