The machine learning aspects and predictive behaviors aren’t there yet for civilian roads.
transponders are required in both aircraft as it is the transponders that provide the position information. With both aircraft equipped you can obtain an advisory but it is only good if the aircraft respond as predicted. In other words, if I am airborne doing aerobatics or even sight seeing and I execute an unexpected turn or manoeuvre the solution becomes void. Simple example, I am in a climb at 1500 fpm and I plan to level off at 5500 VFR. You are level at 6000 feet and your aircraft detects my rate of climb through say 5000 your TCAS would command an immediate descent based upon going under my flight as you do not know my intentions to level off and descent is more immediate than climb. We will meet at 5500. That is why positive control to the ground is required before autonomous flight is safe.
Then you need the AI to react to unforeseen events. Thunderstorms, windshear, turbulence, aircraft unexpectedly on the runway, etc.
Oh don’t think AI is there for planes. My point was poorly worded- basically they can A to B very well, it’s when the unexpected occurs that all bets are off.
so delete the 5500. The point is that you WILL meet. The resolutions don't give you a lot of time to react and trying to go from full down to full up or down to even more down takes a lot of time for response.
TA then RA definitely when there is time. I spent 10 years of my life dealing with issues like these in safety assessments and I can attest to their limitations. The worst being the first example where the computer believes that the aircraft is behaving in an unsafe manner when in fact the pilot's plan and actions are completely safe. There is no guarantee that the aircraft will miss since it all depends upon response time: both mechanical and human. Accidents are very seldom the result of a single failure but rather the total result of several, But the issue in question was one of auto-control from gate to gate and insurance companies will not at the present even consider signing off on an uncrewed airline style aircraft. The safety case just isn't there. Perhaps the first indication that it may be coming will be when trans-pacific flights are allowed to discontinue staffing a third officer for inflight monitoring
Canada has made a lot of recent commitments to NATO and us down here.
…but I can’t wait! (Well I can, but looking forward to the backbrief to Canadians)
I have a different take on it. It will be we know we have to spend alittle i more on defence we will see what we can do. Can we include the Coast Guard, RCMP and few other things in the total? Plus We have the 88 F35 on order. We have 23 navy ships being built and 22 Coast Guard. So we are good. We are working with you on NORAD upgrade.
…but I can’t wait! (Well I can, but looking forward to the backbrief to Canadians)
Was this serious?
The deal is you stop freeloading, and get buying stuff we tell you too.
I'm going to ready that popcorn when our MSM catches wind of that.
I’m not sure any of them would notice.
Yes its was tongue in cheek. But in all seriousness I would say the US will get mad. But in the end they are more happy if Canada says nothing and doesn't try poking a stick at the US like in the past. So I think they have an agreement you get to freeload but don't complain.
