NOVEMBER 2024AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM8In My OpinionThe aviation industry has been evolving rapidly over the past few years and witnessed a transformation like never before. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in numerous aspects of flight operations is turning it more efficient; it is improving safety and, ultimately, the passenger experience, while in parallel, it is contributing to reducing fuel consumption and emissions.There are numerous benefits to integrating AI in flight operations. However, some challenges and ethical considerations may arise, especially when it comes to critical aviation functions. Any AI system must also be robust, and special care shall be taken to make it immune to cyberattacks, a huge threat nowadays. So, where can we see AI in flight operations?Pilots must be trained on a regular basis. It's a crucial element in recreating realistic and complex scenarios to have them practice challenging situations but in a safe and controlled environment. AI plays an instrumental role in simulator sessions mimicking various conditions such as engine failures, adverse weather conditions or emergency landings. A better-trained pilot will always be a better, proficient pilot.Focusing on the flight deck, AI can integrate onboard systems that provide information and recommendations to ease the pilot's decision-making task, which is especially important in more stressful situations.
