Also, notice that in the upper right corner it says "4x Speed". So, just a quick wag, it took 10 seconds of video time to turn the airspeed knob from 218-192 (it was trying to set 190). Slow, but even slower when you realize that was 40 seconds to make that complex maneuver.

 

Latest CMV had 40 knot crosswind landings in 767. I think us humans are gonna be kept in the loop for at least a few more years... I'm not needed for 99% of the operations. For the other 1% , we are invaluable...

 

So when you hit 65 you can move to the bunker and keep "flying"

Ground Control

Single-pilot operations may be more easily accepted than fully autonomous flight, as it still guarantees human intervention, if necessary. It also is likely to involve a second on-the-ground pilot, with airlines expected to follow a NASA-developed approach that calls for a ground back-up system.

The ground-based pilot would act as the first officer using remote-control technologies to monitor operations and support the pilot in the cockpit. Each ground-based pilot would likely be monitoring as many as five flights simultaneously. In emergencies, there would be a dedicated ground pilot focusing only on the plane in trouble and ready to step in using the remote control technologies.

Beside passenger reluctance – and anticipated pilot opposition – regulators will also put high bars for manufacturers and airlines to get over before either single-pilot operations or autonomous flight will be possible. For instance, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has said it will not change any regulations to accommodate autonomous flight until it is proven that pilotless planes have detect-and-avoid capabilities equal to, or better than, humans.

Pilot shortage

Finally, single-pilot operations and autonomous flight address the developing pilot shortage that faces aviation over the next decade. Such a shortfall could end up pushing up wages and stifling the expansion of routes.

Over the short run, one place we are likely to see the adoption of single-pilot operations and maybe even autonomous flight is in the movement of cargo. Here, the economics will dictate, and the safety issues will be less important, given the absence of passengers and presumably crew in the case of autonomous flight.

When it comes to single-pilot operations for commercial flight, there is a certain inevitability involved. That is less the case for autonomous flight, where some experts predict it could literally take decades and perhaps the introduction of autonomous cars and trains – before it will be embraced. As one Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor was recently quoted as saying, “The issue has never been ‘Could you automate an airplane and fly it autonomously?’ The issue is ‘Could you put paying customers in the back of that airplane?’”
