I can imagine why you wouldn't want that...

Pilot: "Hey rick look at that girl, she's fucking hot!"
Co-pilot: "Holy shit james..."
P: "Did you hear something?"
Cp: "Meh, must be the girls fighting again just play the damn video."
P: "Oh here it is.... let's pay further attention to this lengthy sex scene."

*BOOM, plane crashed into the CN tower*

I can see the crash inspector's face when he listens to the black box!

I can see it now.

400+ Passengers dead after A380 Airbus plummets into the ocean. The cause of the accident, pilot error. After reviewing the blackbox, it was revealed that both pilots we're playing World of Warcraft, a popular multiplayer PC game, instead of flying the airplane. More details tonight at 11:00....

That would be me in a different dimension.You never post that reply and all I here is the thing about the internet.Then I become a air bus pilot and crash into the stratosphere in Las Vegas(used to live there) 4 minutes after lifting off because my first thought was WoW.

I know its semi-old, but if you think thats nuts, look at these guys

They build their own full-sized cockpits with MS Flight Sim 04.

Im drooling and yet saying "At least I have a life :-\"

[Lartnev]

Well let's be honest, those pilots must get bored for the 99% of the flight where the autopilot is on

Sooner or later their going to replace pilots with robots that take over the world.

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Screw the whole middle man, why not just have the whole thing controlled remotley, or have a computer program calculate all the stuff. Of courese, you would need a technician incase something screwed up.

On a side note, I have also thought up ways to have a car drive you to your destination, it is rather complex and pointless, but still cool.

I dont see a scabbard for the banstick.

When I worked at Boeing we had to call it a flight deck.

Pilots will not be replaced by machines for a very very very long time.


Thats the worlds first flying Computer controled aircraft. It did not malfunction, there is just no way a computer can look down at a runway and say "Im too high" because there is way too much varience in aircraft type, airfields around the world, and the weather in which they would operate.

Also if an aircraft controled by computer got its self into an extreme atitude (like more than a 60 degree roll/pitch) the gyros inside the plane would "tumble" a tumbled gyro tells you nothing, and thats the only way a computer could fly an airplane.

I think when it's time for planes to be flying themselves they'd be relying on more than just gyros (ie GPS, ground signals etc).

At least I'd hope they'd be
