Anticipating pilot error. The prototype of artificial intelligence aircraft.

Despite the fact that air transport is considered one of the safest around the world, the number of accidents, incidents and emergencies here increases with each subsequent year, and experts quite rightly note the fact that at least half of emergencies arise from - due to pilot errors, and although it is impossible to completely eliminate the human factor, experts try to minimize emergencies that arise, however, this is far from always possible.

At the moment, specialists from Sweden are working on the creation of a special program that will be able to track all the actions of the pilot, performed by him during the control of the aircraft. According to the information announced to the press, the computer program registers every action of the pilot, from preparing the aircraft for flight and ending with braking on the runway. Control commands are recorded by a computer device, and in the event of any error, for example, in the event of an emergency, technical malfunction, performing a dangerous maneuver, roll, etc., the computer will be able to notify the aircraft commander and transmit information about this directly on the ground, which will allow registering all cases and errors during the piloting of the aircraft.

At first glance it might seem that the idea is not worth its embodiment, but, in fact, Swedish experts are trying to create a prototype of an artificial intelligence that can not only handle errors of the crew, but actually anticipate them, and even corrected, including suggesting how the optimal decision for one or the other situation, and independently carrying out of this situation.

According to experts, thanks to such a development, the chance of an aircraft getting into an emergency due to technical problems and unskilled pilot actions will be reduced by at least 35%, but the development itself will still undergo a fairly long trial period, and only if it will work 100% correctly, and attempts will be made to integrate the system into aircraft.
