It seems that the possibilty of an aircraft that is soley controlled by a computer (computer system) is very possible. There are already Unmanned Aerial Vehicles flying in the military. Catagory III aircraft have auto-land, which enables the aircraft to land in zero visibility (obviously at Cat III certified runways). Autopilot flies preprogrammed flight paths and approaches. What problems to do you see in this? Would you fly in a piloted-computer controlled aircraft in the future? Something to think about: more than 70% of aircraft accidents occure due to pilot error and not mechanical failure.

How much visibility is needed to land a plane?

Present day auto-land systems are capable of landing an aircraft in zero/zero conditions. (That's zero ceiling and zero visibility.) However, most operators of US carriers rarely go to the expense of the additional training required to qualify crews to these minimums as zero/zero conditions are seldom encountered. Most only train crews down to minimums of 300' or 600' RVR. (Runway Visual Range is a specialized instrument measurement of lateral visibility as viewed along various portions of the runway.) Answer The aviation industry is developing a HUD (Head's Up Display) that will project Infra-Red imaging in front of the pilot that will greatly enhance his "vision" for adverse landing conditions, whether it is darkness, fog, etc. The cost of operating auto-land systems also includes equipment for the aircraft. So if an operator has a fleet of aircraft, this would require the operator to upgrade his fleet and train all of his crew so they could fly any aircraft in any condition as needed.

What words start with z and describe a blizzard?

Two words that start with "Z" and describe a blizzard are "zero visibility" and "zephyr zapped." "Zero visibility" refers to the condition where visibility is completely obscured by heavy snowfall during a blizzard. "Zephyr zapped" is a playful way to describe the intense, biting cold wind that often accompanies a blizzard.

When do you report tower visibility?

Tower visibility is reported when an aircraft is within a certain distance from the control tower, typically during the approach phase of landing or takeoff. This visibility is crucial for ensuring safe operations and for confirming that the pilot can see the control tower visually. It is also important during low visibility conditions to assess the aircraft's situational awareness. Generally, pilots will report tower visibility when requested by air traffic control or when they believe it is necessary for safe operations.
