This is the mother of all bad ideas. I have never used any automated system on anything that didn't have glitches at some time and some point. And you're going to train pilots to be button pushers if anything ever goes wrong, Oh well. Thank God I am getting close to the end of my career. I think the NTSB in the FAA are going to need more accident investigators. At some point in the future, we may reach the point where this is real but we are there yet. Again, this is the mother of all bad ideas. |

Wasteful +10/-0

If you think that was wasteful, you should see the amount they spent on the drone medicine delivery company, the customer enhanced interactive experience display at their HQ, etc. But spend money on things that improve efficiency or safety? Minimal at best. And AMC has WAY too many middle managers. Wasteful spending. |

The ultimate example of arrogant executives making huge business decisions, while being completely ignorant of how the business actually works. So many red flags... The primary argument for fly-by-wire is increased reliability through simplicity; replacing mechanical linkages with electronics. This system is the worst of both; the same mechanical parts being controlled by additional electronic equipment. Resulting in an even higher probability of failure. Reducing pilot workload to focus on other tasks... seriously? Does AMC really believe their pilots are too incompetent to handle the cyclic, collective and anti torque pedals (not rudder, you clowns) while talking on the radio and and making decisions? You want to increase safety? Focus on what is actually killing your pilots... IIMC. Which leads to the next layer of idiocracy. They claim that this system will allow flight into low visibility. AMC thinks a stablized helicopter can't hit wires or terrain? What a great message you're sending showing an R44 scud running and one of your pilots talking about how they hate declining flights. For the sake of argument, let's assume this dumpster fire of an idea gets certified and equipped. Your pilots might not go into an unusual attitude and lose control due to being disoriented... but being stablized without following IFR procedures will still get you killed. And adding this system will not get your 407's or AS350's certified for IFR. Nor will it magically increase the short supply of pilots with the appropriate experience and knowledge to fly SPIFR. Also, Skyryse is a huge red flag in itself. Not only is the entire business strategy half-baked, they have dumped a ton of money into superficial optics... like a 27k sqft HQ in CA. How do you possibly justify an expense like that before even having product on market? I'd wager AMC's hidden agenda is that they believe this system can be used to radically lower pilot experience requirements and slash pilot salaries. While promoting it under the blatant lie of 'safety'. What a joke. |

because the preliminary says few at 5000 with ten miles during the day. so again, when was the last time for an IIMC accident since that's what is "killing all the pilots" |

A good majority of AMC's helicopters have HeliSAS or other autopilot/FMS that coupled with the GPS so what's the point of this again? Yeah, I heard that 145e system was ridiculous (something like 3 avionics systems trying to work together that won't). I forget but a pilot I knew in a region that had 3 of them refused to take them IFR. |

I have always said that Air Methods wants to be safe until they don't want to be safe. Huge waste of money. And the pilot who says that he hates to turn down flights, he better when the weather is iffy.... if not I wouldn't want a guy like that at my base |
