Riiiiight Like your claim about automatic systems already in operation It has been pointed out to you that there are no fully automatic railway systems. You claimed that there were and mentioned one. When your claim was checked you were wrong as there are attendants on each unit who are trained to take over and manually drive the unit through whatever the emergency was... Pilots will be flying, monitoring and controlling aircraft until the end of aviation |

In fact, I'm amazed at how willing pilots are to entrust their lives to something like a G1000, which cannot _possibly_ have been developed with complete safety in the time it took to produce. I guess the glamour of having that big screen in the cockpit is worth dying for. This has got to be the dumbest 2 sentences I have read...even from you. Real pilots spend many hours learning how to interpret the instruments they have and develop contingency plans for when instruments/display systems fail. Even the most advanced aircraft have a good ole' fashion wet compass and steam gauges in case displays go dark. --Jeff |

I'd venture to say that many pilots wouldn't know how to use those gauges if they had to get by with them alone, especially the new breed of low-time Cirrus-style pilots. They learn what they have to learn to get a license, and then they forget. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Mxsmanic wrote: Computers are completely reliable within the limits of their software. Absolutely untrue. You've never heard of a hardware failure? What he said is absolutely true, from the standpoint that as long as software is only presented with events the programmer anticipated and tested for, it's reliable. Beyond that, you're in test pilot territory. It's like some of the first FBW software, which didn't have any code for unusual attitude recovery. Or, heh-heh, like that recent military flight which crossed the date line and had most of their computers stop working. In any case, I suspect the thread is prodded a bit from all those NASA future air scenarios where we get into a robot air taxi at your local airport. Not me, not for a while! Kev |
