The project aims to make an initial assessment of the operational and technical feasibility of the single pilot operations for commercial aircraft, and its impact on air traffic management. Note that the cockpit specific aspects, including the needed future functions and related automation, are not specifically covered by the project, except when they might have an impact on ATM operational actors.
Based on existing material from past studies, the project partners will work with experts in safety and human performance as well as air traffic controllers, pilots to explore specific use cases (e.g. pilot incapacitation), and develop requirements (e.g. safety, human performance, technical) for the concept.
