At least to start it’s pretty simple. Have a single physical pilot with the ability for a remote pilot to take over in the event of incapacitation, bathroom breaks, etc. The real pilot can always override the remote piloting system through some kind of physical disconnect.
- Retric 4y agoThat’s a different trade off in the case of a deranged pilot or hijackers. Similarly something easy to disconnect is likely to accidentally disconnect, while something difficult to disconnect might not be fast enough. A much larger issue is copilots do a significant amount of work especially in an emergency while also gaining experience in the aircraft. This means a steady stream of highly experienced senior pilots on the exact airframe being flown.
- mym1990 4y agoI would surely hope that to start they would keep 2 pilots in the cockpit and have a remote pilot on standby and record X number of miles without things hitting the fan.
