Computers are too heavily relied upon in aviation.

I don’t agree. I’d argue that many human error circumstances have been avoided. Modern aircraft fly themselves 99% of the time. The incident rate is very impressive compared to the past.

Like I previously said, The tech should warn and inform the PILOTS, not take over control of the airplane.

Like “stall, stall, check your trim system”

The whole idea of letting the plane “TAKE OVER” (AI), control from the pilots is beyond DANGEROUS!

What are they “REALLY” trying to do with this?

Prevent Allahu Akbar pilots from crashing their planes (Egypt Air).

Eliminate unions? Computers have no need of the Air Line Pilots Association, (ALPA). (pilotless airplanes)

There have been several crashes where inexplicably pilots have forgotten to set their flaps correctly.

How about a warning system that says “FLAPS, FLAPS”, NOT the computer, on its own, setting the flaps.

Like I’ve said, they have had this type of problem since 1988 and they are still KILLING PEOPLE with it. Over THIRTY years and they still can’t get it right.

Air France Flight 296, an Airbus A320-111 On June 26, 1988, crashed when the plane’s computer would not allow the pilot to pull up and power up to avoid crashing. The “plane” knew better.
