Two day conFErEncE
the aircraft
commander in the 21st
century?
As the balance between automation and
piloting skills continues to move towards the
former, the aircraft commander in the 21st
century may need to exhibit a skill set that
differs from that of a previous generation.
What, then, must the coming generation
of aircraft commanders possess in their
personal tool kits, and what are the challenges
they face? How should they be selected
and prepared for the responsibilities they
will be expected to undertake? And how will
they remain motivated to feel that they, as
individuals, can make a difference and develop
as the years roll by if they are not to consider
themselves little more than aviating computer
programmers?
This Conference highlights some of these
questions, for failure to develop viable solutions
can put at risk the long sought-for need to have
in command of commercial air transport aircraft
persons who are both professionally competent
and motivated continually to deliver safe and
efficient travel for the general public.
