@bkahn @vfrmedia And now you know why despite the fac that extremely tight regulation and order in #CivilAviation makes #Pilots one of the easiest to automate jobs, there's still the legal mandate to have 2 highly-trained professionals onboard that can if necessary go completely manual & visual at any moment in time should there be some hiccup or issue ranging from turbulences to medical emergencies to having to hold a waiting pattern next to the destination airport because another plane with urgency had to come in first of the wind has changed so having to approach 180° from the original plan is a desired to shorten the needed runway and enable a smoother landing...
Besides, #pilots and #persons can be made liable, not computers.
- This is why pilots have to submit their flight plans before takeoff because they are supposed to think before acting...
