Artificial intelligence is helping pilots to learn from their mistakes through targeted teaching
Big data and artificial intelligence (AI) are helping FlightSafety International instructors provide more effective, targeted training – by detailed analysis of a pilot’s performance based on behaviours and actions sometimes invisible to an expert human eye. However, the benefits of the technology may not always be immediately clear to those doing the flying.
“One of the concerns is likely to be: ‘Why is a computer grading me?’,” says Chris Starr, senior product manager for FlightSmart®, an AI-based training tool developed by FlightSafety with IBM. “It’s not. FlightSmart is an enhancement. It gives the instructor an additional tool to help get the pilot to proficiency. The goal is not machine-based grading, but making the instructor even more effective.”
