 Plane Autonomy: The Evolving Role of Operators in the Advent of Automation and AI
} Nov 3-4, 2023   TBA / 30 MINUTES

From aviators to error handlers: who’s flying our planes? Increasing pilot diversity, divergence in innovation industry-wide, and the need to design ambiguity out of system behavior have ushered a siren call from global regulatory bodies to define the undefined.

How did the Flight Deck Commonality guidelines, established by the SAE S-7 Standards Committee, come about? How have recent watershed global events increased inclusivity and diversity in the pilot community? What are the current challenges for pilots and officers who speak different languages?

Join Kristin as she takes us through the introduction, maturation and divergence in aircraft technology and system implementations. Discover how and why standardization committees are paying close attention to the certification of these advanced systems, while elevating conversations about the pilot’s changing role in operating these machines.
