Joe Smith Seriously? I need to know more about aircraft systems. Despite 45 years as a British Airways Pilot with 31,000 flying hours, 15,000 on 747 variants alone and having written one of the technical manuals for the introduction of the 747-400 into airline service, which earned me a FRAeS? And yes. I’m current and experienced on SEP too, being a SFI for a commercial flying school, having retired from airline service. I think I can play top trumps with anyone in aviation for breadth of experience so don’t even try to belittle me. I stand by my prediction. Time will tell.

Helios Airways flight 522 maybe would've had a different outcome if their plane was equipped with this technology , they need to implement this system on all commercial airplanes immediately .

[@awuma]

It probably was too late for everybody except the flight attendant, so yes, he and the plane would have survived. A special rapid descent mode would need to be available for such high-flying aircraft; the detection of excessively low cabin pressure should be another necessary function, to alert the crew and if necessary to carry out the emergency descent and landing. A detection and alert system would have completely prevented Helios 522.

[@AINvideo]

Cirrus will offer this system on their Vision Jet, which does have a parachute system. Thanks for watching!

[@lancemurray7107]

This could have prevented the Cerritos Aeromexico collision back in August 1986. The small plane pilot had a heart attack (discovered by autopsy) and the other passengers in the small plane could have "pushed a button" to control and land the Piper small aircraft. This happened at the same year I got my pilot's license which also changed some laws for private pilots.

[@porscheguy09]

This is an awesome system. Hopefully all future aircraft will have something like this. I assume that the Auto Land system contacts the ATC of the airport it’s going to try to land at with some sort of message to let them know what is going on and so they can clear any traffic for the plane to land safely.

[@BillySBC]

Yes, it does exactly what the pilot would do.

[@Flywithhamdan]

Can it do a high wind speed crosswind landing

[@natelav534]

This needs to become standardized technology in all planes one day and hopefully soon. For the military it could save pilots from blood clots or hypoxia. And in commercial imagine in a grim scenario like pilots not responding whether it be a terrorist attack or a rogue pilot, someone on the ground could just push an emergency button and the plane would fly itself safely down to the nearest airport.

What about the tower at the airport? What kind of communication takes place so that you can get clearance?

[@skryptonium9802]

What about scenarios where a go around is necessary and if the airport traffic won't allow the plane to immediately land, is there an input needed to enter a holding pattern or what

[@mtcytb]

It isn't designed to make a go-around. Once committed, it is going to land. It is up to air traffic controllers (or local aircraft if a non-towered airport) to keep the runway clear.

[@vagasint.4345]

As I said on another video this thing basically just brute forces a landing

[@catherineburton195]

VAGAS INT. as it should, in an emergency. It’s been squawking 7700 since the button was pressed. That gives priority.

[@TechOut]

That shouldn't occur. The system communicates with ATC and makes them aware the plane is landing and on which runway. It also tells them the pilot may be incapacitated its up to the conscious people to help the system do what its designed to do.

[@vagasint.4345]

Catherine Burton yes, I never said it was wrong that it did this I just said what it is it brute forces a landing

If this system is made mandatory for all aircraft, it will put an incredible amount of cost into an already expensive endeavor. Regulating this system into wide distribution will harm the aviation industry and remove the incentives that would lower costs. If this system is a game changer (as it seems to be) and it is left to market forces, there will be an incentive for other avionics companies (new and legacy) to develop their own versions. That in turn will drive down costs and availability to more customers.

[@KingOfBanks]

That's an uneducated comment. Not required or possible in most general aviation aircraft. 99.x% of general aviation aircraft would not be able to afford this or be compatible with it. The incredible degree of safety in aviation would (if you go by FAA/NTSB etc info) make this a statistical gimmick for actual use in its designed parameters (incapacitation). You're not mandated to drive a cutting edge Mercedes or Tesla because it has the highest safety rating, I'm guessing? Same principle applys here.

[@vagasint.4345]

Gabreiella Wissell I doubt it can handle it like a pilot. Just like a CATIII B autoland on an airliner it probably has a crosswind limitation the airplane will probably choose an airport partially based on crosswind Edit: I am not saying this is bad technology I am just saying it isn’t perfect. No technology is perfect it is obviously better than having no pilot. If this technology could safely get the plane on a highway it would still be awesome because it would still be better than no pilots Can all the techies stop busting my butt and thinking I am saying it is a bad technology. I never once said that in any of my posts across the entire comments section. I am just being realistic and recognizing it MAY have shortcomings. That doesn’t mean I think it is bad that just means I am using critical thinking skills and not just going OMG THIS IS PERFECT THIS MAKES PILOTLESS AIRPLANES POSSIBLE ALL CRASHES WILL COME TO AND END! Before we can use this for pilotless airliners or even single cockpit airliners we need to verify it can be used in all situations and people asking these questions “what about this situation?” “Can it do this?” “Can it this can it that?” Is a GOOD thing. Maybe there is something the people working on this didn’t see or couldn’t predict. So please stop thinking I am condemning the technology it is obviously better than having no pilot on board stop putting words into my mouth. Thank you

[@catherineburton195]

VAGAS INT. airliner auto land limits are usually the same as manual landing limits these days. 777, as an example, has same wind limits and can auto land with an engine failure.

[@vagasint.4345]

Catherine Burton it’s used in poor visibility with low XW yes both are synonymous but airlines do not want airline pilots to use the auto-land system when there is a XW because it doesn’t handle the situation as well

[@gregandkaruna6674]

@@vagasint.4345 What is worse? 100% dead with no autoland or a good chance of the system landing on the main runway or on the grass due to cross winds. I think I will choose number 2

[@catherineburton195]

VAGAS INT. Not so. We practice auto lands in limiting crosswinds at most checks and it can teach most pilots how to nail a wing down technique, aligning with the runway at 200’ and holding the centreline perfectly. Checking my logbook, on the actual aircraft in visual conditions, I autolanded a 747 with 30kts across. In anger (Cat III) I’ve landed with 20 across. Advection fog can be windy.

Autoland is for emergencies, and it is designed to make single-pilot operations safer, not to replace pilots.

[@vagasint.4345]

Hayrullah Ceylan the technology to make this happen has existed since the L-1011 and the Trident in the 1960s The part that probably needed the newest technology is probably the voice recording and touch screen implementation in the cockpit. The system is not new the interface yes.

[@KingOfBanks]

Everyone saying this should be mandated: I hope you have enough money to buy a top of the range Mercedes/Tesla/Tank every year, because a crazy number of people die in cars compared to aircraft, and that's where mandating would and should start.

This is way cool! But will it ever be worth the cost if installed in the very aircraft with the largest risk to PIC incapacitation events, such as a 172 or similar....or pilots under a third class medical (i.e. pee in a bottle, fill out a form and poof, off you go)? After installing all the required gear + pilot and one pax, you are already overweight. “Families” where an aircraft that this product would be a great idea could likely also afford a co-pilot in the right seat, and/or a trained spouse. Maybe in some small business aircraft this would be super neat. Will that pay the cost of product development plus earn a tidy company/shareholder profit? Maybe so.

[@catherineburton195]

I suspect it’ll save weight on most aircraft. Upgrading a PA28 from an original autopilot and vacuum driven gauges to a modern autopilot and ADHRS instruments usually saves a good 40Kg of removed vacuum system and old servos. The servos on a current state of the art autopilot look like cotton reels.
