Passengers were in tears hours after arriving safely at Halifax Stanfield International Airport early Thursday during a massive Maritime spring storm that prompted a white-knuckle landing.

    but no fatalities, the TSB will do their work and in a few months we will know. Way to soon to say for any certainty what occurred.

    I've been in and out of that airport and the weather is always crappy, in my memory.

    (Special to Regina: I remember one flight landing there in crappy weather when they announced that we had just experienced a fully automated landing and have a nice day)

    Very good!!! Was hoping you'd have stumbled on that earlier yesterday and did some home work on it. Little dd I know this was going to happen last night. As I pointed out in the other thread that technology started back in the 40 in the UK for that exact reason. This may well have been one of those landings which was my first thought when I read what happened. Once engaged it can't be disengaged over ridden and it has limitations.
    Here's some home work for you though. Turkish airline crash
    Let me know what you found.

    ... and that automatic landing was way back around 1990, so I expect that the Nimbus 2000 Cyberpilot will be sitting on the shelf, waiting for the focus groups to give the go-ahead.. A couple more airline pilots topping themselves and taking a few hundred more with them and Airbus and Boeing will roll them out on the same week.

    The main barrier to pilotless commercial aircraft operation is the primitive air traffic control system we have at present. Although controllers are provided with predictive as well as actual traffic information now, the system is completely human-driven. From about 2020 this will begin to change, and by 2030 controllers will not control traffic, they will be available in case something anomalous happens. That’s like the airline pilot’s job has been for some time, but air traffic management is about 30 years behind onboard systems.

    btw, A really close friend of ours is an Air Canada flight attendant who often works Atlantic Canada runs and I hope that she wasn't on that flight. She doesn't deserve to have the shit scared out of her.

    I have always hated landing in Halifax. Every landing feels like a hard landing.

    I never even mentioned pilot error.

    I didn't want to start another fight.

    My first flight ever was from Montreal to Halifax, I was about 5 at the time, the plane was diverted to Sydney. :lol:

    Have you ever landed at Shearwater?
    I swear, the pigeons used to land their Hercs in the parking lot to show us what "sort take-off-and-landing" really meant.
