David....

Yeah I should know better, tell you what David Hayward.....I will rip up and burn my pilots license right now, you are completely right, you win enjoy your victory....I'm sure it will be very sweet for you to do a victory jig wherever you are.....all alone......very very alone.

Let's assume they eventually put together the megajet 2000. How long do you think it will take them to realize that all the pilot is doing is turning on the computer?

That is a very odd reaction to something that probably isn't going to happen until long after you are dead.

Don't forget we designed the megajet to not have pilots, so now nothing can go wrong.

It doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be better than the average pilot.

Absolutely, and like you said, the pilots are dead weight and just extra meat to pick out of the wreckage.......you saved my life dude.

There is a saying, "German Generals, French Officers and British Soldiers...". This just shows the mental determination of the French officer class. - I believe him!

Only if this discussion convinced you to stop smoking.

Do you think they would implement a system like this without testing in a simulator and comparing the results to human pilots?

..sometimes I wonder whether David is doing some sort of university research and using this forum as his research playground

david, no matter how powerful and sensor-loaded you make a computer, if it doesn't have a conscience or a human-like self awareness it won't ever perform like a real pilot.

The control of an aircraft was developed to be piloted by humans, the route that Airbus has been advocating so far is unnatural and in many ways incompatible with the human operators.
