is testing automatic take-off and landing capabilities with an A350-1000. These first steps, along with the auto-landing capabilities for general aviation aircraft to be certified early this year, indicates that the age of automation assisted operations is surely arriving.
The Airbus system incorporates a vision system to track the runway center line and rotates the aircraft without side-stick from the pilot. Flight tests were carried out in Toulouse in December and they performed eight test flights that day. Vision-based taxiing and landing tests will be conducted later this year.
Airbus remains firmly committed to pilots, but is evaluating the degree to which autonomous software can help pilots focus on strategic decision-making rather than aircraft operations.
