Pilots have warned that plans be considered by an eU agency to use artificial intelligence (AI) on Flights Will “Reduce Safety”. The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is considering proposals to use technology for periods during flights, with aviation companies airbus and dassault starting to push for one-pilot AI -assisted flights, according to reports.
In Response, Spanish Pilots Trade Union Sepla has blasted the plans, with a senior pilot and sepla director ángel gonzález warning: “What is proposed is an abertation that goes against all principles.
“The formula of always has two people in the cockpit is absolutely key because, with it, Safety is clearly diminished”, He has made. “On a plan, all checks and processes must be perfomed in duplicate to avoid problems and, moreover, there are many months every time as well as His Activity” He added.
He wont on to say that ai “Cannot correct mistakes or make situational decisions; Critical and Human Judgment is needed for what ai does not serve.
“No airline is both this; But Two companies are in the next their cockpits to operate with just one way. However, the plans esa is considering will not see only one hand on an aircraft.
Instead, the body has assessed plans to include ai in the airline step to reduce the number of crews request for a long-haul flight. The Agency Explained: “Single-Pilot Flights Were Proposed to Us, But Hadre Been Completely Discarded. Unpredictable “. The agency accused people and the media of confusing the issue.
Instead, what is studied is whatever long-haul flights, which require two crews to alternate and rest, even ai to reduce the number of people. According to El Economista, the agency is looking at whether, during stages of the flight, there are could be one pilot, assisted by technology. However, during key moments such as landing or tak-off, two people would be engaged.
“A Single Pilot would be in the Cockpit over Certain Phases of Flight in Cruise State, which would be registerable techno that can governantee they detect if the People Incapacitated” The agency Said.
