The idea that automation might allow for the elimination of one of the pilots on commercial aircraft is not new.\u00a0 I discussed the issues at length in a <a href=\"https:\/\/airlinesafety.blog\/2016\/01\/31\/are-pilots-going-to-be-eliminated\/\">previous article<\/a>. Much of logic that the proponents use is based on the reasoning that if we could eliminate first the radio operator, then the navigator, then the flight engineer, the \u201cnatural progression\u201d of automation is to eliminate one of the pilots. It is flawed thinking. At one time the job of tuning a radio was very involved, as was navigating, and also operating systems. However, one must not lose sight of the fact that each of those individuals operated at the direction of the two pilots and provided information so that the pilots could form a mental model of the flight and make decisions accordingly.\u00a0 All the information went forward to the two pilots in front who took it all in to make decisions as to the safe operation of the aircraft.<\/p>\n<p>The role of the F\/O is not just to be a \u201credundant back up\u201d to the captain, nor is it to just move switches as a PM.\u00a0 It is also not simply to help offset the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/airlinesafety.blog\/2014\/04\/21\/the-role-of-cognitive-bias-in-aircraft-accidents\/\">cognitive bias<\/a>\u00a0that each of us has. It is to create a shared mental model which creates a surprisingly large multiplier effect.\u00a0 Two people are not just twice as capable. Somehow that reminds me of an experience many parents can commiserate with, the second child is not just twice as much work, but more like ten times (at least it feels that way!). Humor aside, the magnifying effect of shared consciousness is well documented (see D. Harris\u2019s <em>Human Performance on the Flight Deck<\/em>, 2011).\u00a0 The key, though, is that t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/are-two-heads-better-than\/\">hey are able to communicate effectively,<\/a> each sharing their ideas, and, most importantly (and this has strong implications for how we might better manage our cockpits), the key was sharing their level of confidence in the decision making.\u00a0 In other words, you need to share your doubts.\u00a0 We need to share how confident (or, more importantly, the lack thereof) we are on our thought process which then apparently opens the door for the other person to fill those gaps.\u00a0 This might explain the problems with overly authoritative Captains.<\/p>\n<p>This reflects the typical cockpit environment, with both pilots discussing aspects and expressing the facets they are less confident about, even if not quite in those words.\u00a0 The proponents of single-pilot argue that the second person can be replaced with remote consciousness, but it should be obvious that remote consciousness will not be able to replace a person next to you, with the subtle body language and other nuances we use to express doubt or confidence. As David Mindell (MIT) has outlined, we can do many things remotely but we lose quite a lot in the process. While we can also gain certain things, I would state that without question many flight-critical decisions are not well suited for it.<\/p>\n<p>There is a second part to all of this. There is a pervasive myth that human error leads to accidents, but in my work as an accident investigator and in the application of system engineering approaches such as <a href=\"http:\/\/psas.scripts.mit.edu\/home\/\">MIT\u2019s STAMP<\/a>, we see very quickly that the real cause of accidents are flawed assumptions at every level. Removing a pilot would just make those flawed assumptions at the design stage more prominent as there would no longer be a pilot to prevent tragedy. Read my article on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/airlinesafety.blog\/2012\/02\/02\/inflight-fire\/\">inflight fire<\/a>\u00a0and imagine the problems an automated system might have with some of the scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>One of my concerns (which I have outlined in many of my talks) is that we are stuck in an old, and incorrect, model of the cause of accidents.\u00a0 This includes even many pilots. Most of the pilot advocate organizations promote the idea that in order to reduce accidents we need to protect the system from human error, and that means that we first try to create a design that precludes the problem, if that fails then we engineer barriers, then, if that doesn\u2019t work, we create warnings and alerts, and following that we attempt procedural barriers, and then after that we try to train it out of people.\u00a0 This is the taxonomy utilized pretty much across the airline industry. The problem is that it based on the flawed thinking that humans are the problem, rather than recognizing that by far most of the time the pilot is <em>preventing <\/em>the accident!\u00a0 The reason it does not seem that way is that we fail to apply local rationality, or \u201chow did the context of the situation lead to the decision making sense\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Many do not understand it, but in my experience, even among those on the \u201cpilot side\u201d that do \u201cget it\u201d, too many are afraid to \u201crock the boat\u201d, feeling that pilot participation in various policy bodies is too tenuous to risk stating the truth.\u00a0 However, by \u201cgoing along\u201d with the status quo, we are, essentially, arguing that pilots are <em>the problem<\/em> and therefore, we should either eliminate them or prevent them from doing harm, and it provides others with the opportunity to state truthfully that they \u201cincluded the pilots viewpoint\u201d.\u00a0 I view this as a significant problem.<\/p>\n<p>So, we have more than a fight at the government level.\u00a0 There are people at high levels of pilot advocacy organizations (i.e., unions) who are helping push this agenda, even if unwittingly or with good intentions.<\/p>\n<p>I close again with this. The reason for the second pilot is not redundancy, but rather it is to expand the mental model to allow a far greater adaptive capacity to manage events that fall outside of the engineering assumptions or even the imagination of those designing the system (aircraft, ATC, etc.).<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"entry-author-info\">\n<div id=\"author-avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/1.gravatar.com\/avatar\/71222e839936336880e5ead5cc76aa2fcca467386a8082d8acec7a434b719bca?s=60&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G\" srcset=\"https:\/\/1.gravatar.com\/avatar\/71222e839936336880e5ead5cc76aa2fcca467386a8082d8acec7a434b719bca?s=60&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G 1x, https:\/\/1.gravatar.com\/avatar\/71222e839936336880e5ead5cc76aa2fcca467386a8082d8acec7a434b719bca?s=90&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G 1.5x, https:\/\/1.gravatar.com\/avatar\/71222e839936336880e5ead5cc76aa2fcca467386a8082d8acec7a434b719bca?s=120&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G 2x, https:\/\/1.gravatar.com\/avatar\/71222e839936336880e5ead5cc76aa2fcca467386a8082d8acec7a434b719bca?s=180&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G 3x, https:\/\/1.gravatar.com\/avatar\/71222e839936336880e5ead5cc76aa2fcca467386a8082d8acec7a434b719bca?s=240&amp;d=identicon&amp;r=G 4x\" class=\"avatar avatar-60\" height=\"60\" width=\"60\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><!-- #author-avatar --><\/p>\n<div id=\"author-description\">\n<h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAbout Shem Malmquist FRAeS\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\tB-777 Captain.
