Hey Infinite Flight family, have you noticed how real world aviation is getting smarter? A I is stepping in to make air trafficcontrol and cockpit operations safer better and infact more efficient.
Air traffic controllers are now getting into digital assistants that crunch data in real time, spotting potential issues and suggesting maneuvers before problems arise. Biggieslike Honeywell and NXP are coming up to bring cloud-connected, AI-driven cockpit systems to life.
Also Next-gen cockpits are evolving from endless buttons and switches to augmented reality displays, voice controls, and even virtual co-pilots.
Does this mean pilots could soon have a more streamlined, intuitive interface that lets them focus on flying???
What do you guys think about this digital leap in aviation? Are you excited to see these changes reflected in our Infinite Flight world???
I think AI will dramatically change the world, aviation included. I donât think weâll see totally autonomous planes anytime soon, but artificial intelligence can certainly aid in weather forecasting, route planning, turbulence management, and air traffic flow.
AI has the potential to revolutionise the aviation industry and while it shouldnât take over entirely - it could prove extremely useful as an assistant alongside humans.
AI definitely seems more like an assistant rather than a full replacement for pilotsâat least for now. Weather forecasting, route optimization, and air traffic flow improvements could really change how aviation will operate and function in the coming yrsss.
But hereâs something to think about: Do you believe AI will ever reach a point where we fully trust it with long-haul flights, maybe even without a human pilot on board? Or will there always be a need for that human element in the cockpit?
Looking forward to hearing my flight communityâs thoughts!
Imagine if AI-driven air traffic flow improvements could really smooth out the congestion we all experience fewer delays, better route management, and lower fuel use.
It might even mean shorter wait times at the gate. How do you think these changes will affect our daily flying experience, both in the real world and in Infinite Flight?
Letâs hope AI ATC can keep things on track and avoid any chaos like that in futureâŚ
Imagine if it could learn from past mishaps and smooth out the sky even better. What do you thinkâwill the tech really be a game changer in handling unpredictable flights?
Real world sounds like a double edged sword- we donât have ATC fatigue and human error but ChatGPT used to think there were 2 'râs in âstrawberryâ. I canât say for IF because I donât play (iâm just here because Iâm an avgeek lol)
Haha, totally get your pointâAI can sometimes slip up with silly things like spelling âstrawberry.â But if the tech is solid enough, having zero âATC fatigueâ might be a huge plus. Think weâll ever trust AI enough to handle everything, or will humans always need to be there for those random âtwo Rsâ moments?
Yes. I think more of like a train driver. The train only moves on those two rails, but when the trainâs computer messes up, the driver is always there to take control.
like a train running smoothly on its rails, but still needing a human in the loop for those unexpected moments. The question is: if AI keeps getting smarter, will we end up relying on the train drivers less and less, or will that human backup always be a must?
Thereâs always that one occasion where the AI will mess up, think of it as a fire. Thereâs always a firefighter on standby at the fire station, and even though there isnât a fire every day, not even once a year, when a fire does happen the firefighters are there to respond.
The thing is: if AI takes more and more control and human only is there for that one mistake that caaaan happen, the human more and more loses the big overview. Weâre all humans. Just think of sitting in front of a computer thatâs doing hundreds of operations in a minute. Try to spot that one mistake before the result of this tiny mistake leads into something like a plane crash, you canât avoid anymore.
I think as a support, AI is great. Like on the iPad of the pilots or even in the system of a plain watching all parameters and giving the pilots hints like âpressure here seems strange, check itâ or âthe plane 50nm away seems to cross our path. Calculated a thread of crash. Letâs turn right a bit. His system tells him to turn right as well, so no collisionâ (way before tcas). Even in ATC it can help with suggestions. These suggestions can lower the risk or help correct human errors but it should never turn around that AI errors should be corrected by humans.
Autopilot is enough AI for me in cockpit. I like all that buttons and being in control.
super example
