Why Aircraft Still Need Human Pilots in the Loop
About this video
Modern airliners can fly almost an entire sector on autopilot — and that is exactly why human pilots still matter. Automation surprises and mode confusion show up often enough that two people in the loop remain the safety net, not a luxury. This is about how fly-by-wire and flight management systems changed the job, why skills erode when hands leave the controls, and what regulations still insist on. Educational aviation safety — not a flight manual. #aviation #autopilot #pilots
