Myth: Pilots already rely on a lot of automation —so RCO is just the next step. Fact: While there are many automated systems on a modern airliner, these systems are designed to be actively monitored by highly-trained human pilots. Automation on the flight deck is supplementary—its purpose is to reduce the pilots’ workload, not replace the decisions and judgements that must be made by pilots who have the training and skills to safely operate that aircraft. Only human pilots can see, smell, hear, and feel many indications of an impending problem, and formulate a course of action—often before sensors and indicators provide positive indications of trouble.

Public Service announcement: For those of you who parrot rhetoric like “These 21st Century planes fly themselves with Auto-Pilot…” Yada…Yada…. You are ridiculously uninformed and ignorant to the Decades of Training, Certification, Recurrent Testing, and dedication requisite for taking hundreds of lives hour after hour, day in-day out through ungodly weather, day and night week after week, season after season, year in-year out with intensely safe statistical data. STATISTICALLY you are safer on a U.S. Commercial Transport Category Jet at 500kts, at night, in a snow blizzard then you are driving home from work on your local freeway at 5:00pm. THAT is a statistical FACT. We are intensely committed Aerospace professionals. Period. Full stop. The general public cannot conceive of the dedication requisite to achieve this level of excellence. Every day. We commit our lives to public safety & professionalism. Every day. NO comparison can be made to - Food service - Financial service - Retail - I.T. - Entertainment Etc… I’m only pushing back on a pathetic narrative that a NAV Auto-Pilot /Altitude Hold is THE Fail/safe you like to parrot is the cornerstone of your families safety in the dynamic environment that is the National Aerospace System. Waiting for the trolls and others to comment. Just think of this when your family boards the Jet late night in lousy weather ! Save your critical comments. They are irrelevant. THIS sells ITSELF ! Wake up to what true dedication looks like and conduct yourself accordingly. That is all.

Predicting the Unpredictable Threat analysis and prevention measures is an extremely complex process that depends on way more elements then a digital “brain” can deliver. TEM based on digital assessment and pre defined database only limits the range of predictable possibilities to what the technology can see. The unpredictable is beyond the blind eyes of AI and even beyond a human visual range. The human senses are essentiall to determine whether something apparently invisible or hidden can turn into a threat or not. A pilot smells smoke before any sensor will spot it for exemple. And the decision making process started from his senses or even by instinct will determine the outcome in anticipating hidden possibility catastrophic scenarios. Sully’s instinct to start the APU immediately after observing both engines spooling down, oposit to the QRH order, provided essential data to be displayed earlier in a time critical momet. And his instinct to go for a ditching instead of attempting a landing was proved to be the only option duable on that event. A well trained pilot with high performance non tech skills is and it will always be the most effective tool to antecipate unpredictable threats.

Given the advances in technology i wonder where the future of ab initio pilot training lies.

In the world of aviation, accuracy and reliability are paramount. At the heart of every modern aircraft’s avionics lies the Air Data Computer (ADC) – a sophisticated device responsible for converting raw air data into critical information like airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed. By processing inputs from pitot tubes, static ports, and temperature sensors, ADCs deliver precise readings that pilots and automated systems rely on for safe and efficient flight. Whether it's calculating the aircraft’s Mach number or adjusting for temperature variations, ADCs ensure that every flight stays on course and within safe operating limits.

Today, limited flights in the aviation sector resulted from a software outage, underscoring the critical role of aviation navigation in guiding pilots. Understanding the key components of aviation navigation is crucial: - Visual Flight Rules (VFR) for clear weather conditions. - Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) for poor visibility and commercial aviation. - Dead Reckoning for calculating position based on known factors. - Radio Navigation with ground-based radio beacons like VOR and NDB. - Inertial Navigation System (INS) for continuous position calculations. - Global Positioning System (GPS) for accurate worldwide information. - Area Navigation (RNAV) for flying on desired paths. - Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) for traffic management. - Flight Management System (FMS) for automating navigation tasks. These methods collaborate to ensure safe air travel, highlighting the importance of robust aviation navigation for all flight types. Additionally, in the USA, the 911 service and other state agencies , helfcare , banking ( Microsoft related) were affected. #Aviation #Navigation #FlightSafety

Avionic systems are an essential and key component of modern aircraft that control all vital functions, including power plant monitoring and control, flight control and management, navigation, surveillance, data display and communications. It would not be possible to fly today’s advanced aircraft designs without such sophisticated systems.

NextGen Avionics - ADS-B: Enhancing Modern Aviation Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is a key technology in modern aviation, significantly enhancing the safety, efficiency, and accuracy of air traffic management. ADS-B is a surveillance technology where an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked. This information includes the aircraft’s location, altitude, velocity, and other pertinent data. ADS-B operates on two main frequencies: 1090 MHz, used globally, and 978 MHz, mainly used in the United States for lower altitudes. The system has two components: ADS-B Out, where the aircraft broadcasts its data to air traffic control (ATC) and other nearby aircraft, and ADS-B In, where the aircraft can receive this information. The primary benefits of ADS-B include improved situational awareness for both pilots and air traffic controllers, more efficient flight routes, and enhanced safety through better tracking of aircraft in remote or oceanic areas. Unlike traditional radar, ADS-B provides more precise tracking and works in areas without radar coverage. It supports advanced applications such as conflict detection and resolution, weather updates, and traffic information services. ADS-B is mandated in many regions worldwide, including the U.S. and Europe, marking a significant shift towards more reliable and comprehensive surveillance in aviation.
