Automation on board transport category aircraft today has evolved to the point where the pilot鈥檚 role is becoming increasingly supervisory in nature. However, this has led to pilots becoming less aware of how the automation is behaving, posing a risk to continued safety of flight. In addition, automation is disengaged in abnormal and emergency situations and this results in undesirable added crew workload.
This project proposes a novel concept of automation, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) trained to fly the aircraft and control automation also communicates with the human pilots.
