Pilots still miss the light for "all systems not nominal", they only have so many brain cycles to interpret.
One example that comes to mind is visual and audible alerts when you haven't put the landing gear down and the system thinks you're going to land (speed low, flaps extended, descending). Yet gear-up landings are still common in single-pilot general aviation aircraft.
- fho 5y agoI can see that you can easily miss that "gear up" light. I guess an alarm at that point might also not be too beneficial (you have to search for the cause of the generic (?) alarm). How about an "assistant" that calmly tells you "it seems like we are landing, but your gears are still up, wanna do something about that?". I guess acceptance for something like that will be low.
