I'm not sure what you're getting at with this?
The pilot had all glass avionics here. Other than the lack of an FMS (which is just never used in small aircraft), this had everything I'd expect to see in modern systems.
But also, even in an aircraft with a glass cockpit, the pilot is supposed to be mostly eyes up. Unless you're inside inclement weather, aviation operates on the "see and avoid" principle. Especially so when you're flying low and in congested airspace like the Mojave MOAs.
- ggm 3y agoThe airliner as described won't have windows for the pilot, it will be rendered on a screen.
- sashank_1509 3y agoThat would be an insane feat of engineering and probably unnecessary. Hope they don’t do that

- _xerces_ 3y agoWhy would a couple of cameras and a screen be an insane feat of engineering? I spent a lot of time watching on the back of seat screen the tail cam and front camera of the A350 I flew on recently. One issue the Concorde had was poor visibility out of the windows which they solved by having a moveable hinged nose, cameras make this issue go away (assuming there is good redundancy)
