A big warning of airline industry?
There must be a way or more to prevent more plane crashing and missing! Let's put our nerd, geek and tech minds together to make a different! What do you think?
- zeddotes 12y agoSo long as there is human involvement, we'll have ulterior motive, jealousy, agony, and the whole basket of what makes us imperfect, which no amount of computing power can prevent from taking charge of a situation where a machine is involved. I'm speaking on what has happened recently with the Germanwings flight. To speak on the matter that you've raised, I think it boils down to thorough testing.
- lexliang 12y agoI agree with you. I still believe that there must be some ways we can reduce the possibility. Thinking hard..
- daim 12y agoI foresee regulation changes where a pilot of a commercial aircraft requiring multiple pilots cannot be left alone at the controls. Humans can be entirely unpredictable
- AnimalMuppet 12y agoYou have to have one pilot able to take over solo if the other becomes incapacitated (heart attack, food poisoning, whatever). But that means that one pilot can take over by incapacitating the other. There's no way around it (other than, perhaps, three people in the cockpit).
- lexliang 12y agoI think this is one of a great solution regarding to the GermanWing case or even MH370.
- eli 12y agoDo you think there's a pattern of plane disasters? Seems like each one has a different cause and, overall, they remain pretty rare relative to the number of daily flights. Here's a really good article on the subject of "autopilot" and human control of aircraft: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/business/2014/10/air-france-flight-447-crash http://www.vanityfair.com/news/business/2014/10/air-france-f...
- AnimalMuppet 12y agoThere may be commonality between this one and the Malaysia Air disappearance. We don't know enough (yet) about the Malaysia Air one to know for sure.
- lexliang 12y agoAgree, the MH370 disappearance is so strange, I wish that pretty soon there will be some clues!
- lexliang 12y agoEli, thanks for the article, it is a very detailed article about AirFrance crash! Human errors are not avoidable, but I think there must be some new way to at least reduce the risk.. I am thinking very hard on it..
- lexliang 12y agoLatest news, it seems like related to health issues behind the reason of why the co-pilot crashing the plane! Probably some sort of procedures to make sure the health condition of pilots before a flight or in regular basis.
