Airbus and Dassault Pushes for Single-Pilot Operations Amidst Rising Automation
PARIS — As technology evolves, plane manufacturers like Airbus and Dassault in Europe are championing the concept of planes being flown with a single pilot during most of a long-haul journey. This idea has not yet received widespread endorsement from their airline clientele. However, it's causing a stir among pilot unions, which argue that having less than two pilots onboard is a perilous venture. (www.airlinerwatch.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
There is a very good reason for having two pilots at the controls of a passenger carrying jet. The development of new technology for controlling the path of the aircraft doesn't obviate the reason(s). This may be one of those things we can do but perhaps should not do. Technology is not reason enough to take this step, and the savings of overhead doesn't justify this step. We need more time and development before pushing this forward.
No pilot cargo flights are already being conducted in northern Canada .
Were? I live up here and have never seen one or even heard of one.
I think that the concept of one pilot is good . Now I also want you to spend 9 months producing it, then 21 years training it plus 3 more years specializing in air movement above the ground, you will also need a A I check ( overseer) in place to clear regulations.. Am I much to advanced for you?? I'll ride it it, but in 27 years I'll be dust.
The increase in knowledge has been exponential. Where technology used to take the time you mention brevity now reigns.
Think of the cell phone.
AI will determine whether or not humans ⁰are obsolescent. That come-to-pass is so much closer than we imagine.

What IF that one pilot has a heart attack and dies on one of those long haul trips? I can't imagine the fear that will strike the passengers riding in a pilot-less ghost plane.
