Honeywell predicts Single-Pilot future
And then there was one. Agatha Christie’s theme will be playing out soon in aircraft, according to Honeywell executives who believe that technology will pave the way for automation to support single-pilot commercial operations in the next five to seven years.

I had a long and safe airline career. Neither would have been possible without another crew member by my side. There are some things technology can’t help with.
I agree.... I like the idea of a "Auto Pilot" to assist the crew.... But I am high against an "Automatic Pilot"....
I can just hear the pilots announcement just before take off... "Ladies and Gentlemen, this should be a smooth flight today, the weather is clear and calm... Flight Attendants, please be Seated.... Seated.... Seated.... Seated.... ".
What a comforting thought... :)

For allmost 20 years I flew a passenger mostly to Denver to our company HQ.
When this happens i ll stop flying on that airline !
Will you have a co-driver?
It’s not just the technology, it’s decision making and having one level head, if the other is ‘in the clouds’.
The single most significant benefit to the accident rate in modern history is CRM. That takes two. If the current diatribe against Boeing technology doesn't indict the idea that one pilot is better than two because the tech. will take care of the rest, then I won't even get into AB crew, technology fails. By the way, what level are you up to on your Xbox ATP?
