Well, now it's true!!

This will save millions and millions of bucks on pilot pay and training, which will go straight into CEO pockets!!!

Thank You Capitalist !!!

"Transformational" was bad a while back and it doesn't sound good for you EMS guys now.I am happy in my V1-rotate job.

Monkey Boy,  Why sweat it .  This is just phase one.  Phase 2 is where they eliminate the pilot also.  Even your 200 Robbie hours and flying for food won't save you then. 

It'll be another decade minimum before any of this happens

Azguy is right. Wait till the FAA gets involved. 

Is AMC planning to use this technology for?

To allow a nurse to control the aircraft if the pilot is incapacitated?

Not seeing any practical application of this. There is so much more to piloting than just wiggling the controls. Taking out the muscle memory aspect doesn't compensate for poor decision making, a lack of situational awareness, or shoddy navigation skills.

Most pilots make compliance errors compared to flying errors... so how will this fix that?

Software can make fuel/distance/weight go/no-go calculations.

Medcrew can certainly fuel the aircraft.  Mechanic can preflight the aircraft at beginning of shift (can be 24 hrs like medcrew).

No more "Duty Time Turndowns".

This system doesn't push buttons in the aircraft, though, so you'll need to either teach medcrew how to do that or still have the pilot turning fuel pumps on/off, lights, avionics, throttle to fly, etc. 

Can't enter/depart airspace unmanned yet I don't think.  Someone will have to be on the radios and be able to coordinate steering based on ATC wishes.  

This system doesn't have sensors to prevent collision with aircraft or close obstacles on a scene call.  Those are cheap and doable in next 5 years, though. 

Weather would be impossible to be incorporated into an algorithm. Not given a pilot's experience with local geography, and weather patterns, and constant updating of current weather. 

The all mighty Pilots, Hmmmm Get over yourselves all ready. The 1st astronauts were a chimp & dog. Man made,controlled that ship. Yes a Space Ship!! SMH!!!

Is it gonna prevent morons making stupid decisions?

Ipads overheat in the aircraft all the time.. ive seen it multiple times, and then they shut themselves down until they cool off..  Had it even happen once during a fairly mild summer morning doing a simulated instrument approach, IPad was on my leg, not even on the window..  

to the bottom...

When you have Ec135 pilots putting tails together and pushing aircraft around, what do you expect.  We can't even fire terrible pilots.

Jeez this industry sucks...
