Luchtvaartpiloten, Copiloten en Vluchttechnici

65% (Hoog Risico)

Hoge Risico (61-80%): Banen in deze categorie lopen een aanzienlijk risico door automatisering, aangezien veel van hun taken gemakkelijk kunnen worden geautomatiseerd met behulp van huidige of nabije toekomstige technologieën.

The amount of things pilots have to do in order to ensure safe flights is astounding, not to mention that if something were to go wrong, what would the robot even do?

Although the actual flight operation can be managed by AI, there is always the chance that the AI will fail at controlling the plane. Also there is always different situations for landing and takeoff, AI won't always be able to predict and maneuver the next move.

consider that nothing manufactured by humans are perfect, with such a reality, you cannot assume that a robot/ai could do it's job flawlessly. there are ethical decisions in emergencies that must be made in the cockpit that an ai simply cannot do. furthermore, redundancy is a core value in aviation, and until human manufacturing is perfect (arguably wont ever be), a pilot will always be needed in the cockpit as a form of redundancy in case the manufactured systems malfunction.

ask yourself this question, how would you feel if the most beloved person to you was on a plane controlled by a robot that could be hacked, glitch, or malfunction

The technology exists, but is it socially acceptable? It’s similar to how self driving cars have been a thing since the late 90s (couldn’t believe it either), and have become more mainstream in the last few years. Pilots will probably lose their jobs when people become comfortable flying in fully autonomous aircraft. However, emergencies can still happen, so it will probably take even longer for machines to take over.

Who said that an autopilot is more reliable than a human captain?

Because pilots even today have a sizeable portion of the piloting during flight cut out for them with autopilot and it is already so trustworthy and efficient that they can sleep around a half hour while autopilot is on before being woken up by an alarm. Though this is balanced out by takeoff and landing which is much more tricky to automate and there is still the need for pilot input during emergencies

If wanted, the aircraft manufacturer could easily develop a computer to follow all the instructions that pilots need to follow too, like taxiing, departure (still needs human help), cruising (already taken over by autopilot but still needs human help if an emergency happens), and landing.

That is for the pilot. For the co-pilot, it is highly likely because the A.I. doesn't need to do all the instructions; they just do half of it, and the rest the pilot will handle.

For the flight engineer, I think it has a lower chance of getting replaced by A.I. or some sort of computer.

But this is overall just my opinion.

you will always need humans incase something happened. its possible but not in the next 20 years

Automated flight is already a well-established reality, the pilot on board serves only to reassure passengers who are not yet accustomed to the idea of a completely automated flight.

We are no where near completely autonomous flight. We barely have self-driving cars, which are normally confined to certain parameters. There are so many variables and things that could go wrong, that it simply isn’t viable yet.

Automation has the ability to control events in a certain context, and wouldn't be able to handle an emergency or malfunction, considering the usual age of aircraft computers.

New plane can fly it self but they still need pilot or co pilot to make sure nothing is going wrong especially when it is landing

It is not a technological issue, it is a sociological, legislative, and regulatory one.

People are too anxious to get on a plane without another human being up front with their life and safety on the line. This will be even more true as we move through the inevitable accidents during automation of ground transportation. At least that's what I heard as an FAA research scientist working on future drone airspace research projects.

The “need for the human touch“ when things “go wrong“ with a flight is arguably correct However this function can be provided perfectly adequately from a remote control room. The human does not need to be sitting in the cockpit. The ability to fly precision drone operarions from control rooms thousands of miles away proves this. Flights can be totally automated but when an abnormality occurs, the controllers （who oversee multiple flights）can be alerted, and intervene renotely if necessaey.

Those are heavy assumptions that there is strong two way communication between the aircraft and the ground station controlling it. Not a lot of the areas that airplanes are flying over will be able to maintain a constant communication (such as war zones, the arctic, or the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean) and before you say GPS keep in mind it works by sending low bit data so that doesn’t exactly work well when complicated or heavy computing conditions exist. Plus if you can control it remotely so can someone else looking to cause trouble.
