Boeing - Better Get your Puts While You Still Can

No the autopilot, is what flys it from airport to airport with very little pilot input, they can turn that off and fly it manually.

This was a malfunctioning anti stall safely device that went wrong, autopilot was off.

It's a good idea, if not for a faulty sensor that was under reading the air speed.

Turv, man, I like you. But let's stop with the semantics here. A sensor malfunctions and the plane decides to do something based on it's programmed algorithms, that is an auto-pilot. It is controlling the craft without input from the pilots. This IS the definition of an auto-pilot system.

Stop with the anti-stall falderal. It does not MATTER what caused the plane to pitch down against the pilots' wishes. The thing pitched down, based on what it knew, and prevented the pilots from correcting. This is an auto-pilot system that went bad, bigly.

Oh, and this is an important point...



Aircraft should not be "thinking". They are machines, and they need to succumb to their masters, who most of the time know better than they do WTF is going on. We need to stop Skynetting the machines, or liquid metal really will visit us from the future and fuck up John Conner. Then life ends. Whoops!

Okay calm, didn't actual think, a few lines of code went if airspeed drops below Y Knots then pitch nose forward X degrees down.

But AutoPilot and Malfunctioning Safety feature are 2 completely seperate things.

The Autopilot works perfectly, not that they get any praise for that, only shit of the feature that doesn't work, just not fair.

You have to aviate, navigate, communicate. The three basic rules of flying, like the three basic rules of gun safety.

Pilots must ALWAYS be able to maintain control of their craft.

People can DO IT. We don't need machines telling us how to do it. Crabbing. It's the most basic form of controlled flight into known crosswinds.

No, pilots stall aircraft all the time, stalls are dangerous if you haven't got the altitude to recover, the system had it of worked perfectly would save lives, or atleast over stressing the airframe from stalls, which reduces the life of the plane.

K, I think we're speaking of two different concepts here. I'm speaking from the pilot perspective. Yer speaking from somewhere else. *sighs* Good night sir, we can speak more tomorrow. Maybe.

You get 90% of landing ( the smooth 1's ) are done by the computer including those landings, computers can land smoother so less stress on the plane and landing gear = less repair costs.

Had Single Engine License back in 2002 before those pesky expensive kids spent all my money on food and nappies.

Good night!! Stressy week!! 12hours planned

BULLSHIT! A good pilot can land any plane smoother than the computers. Because after all, the computers do not actually land the craft, the pilots do.

Yes sir, and keep up the good work in yer thinking out loud thread. It's a staple here.
