Digital Copilot Designed To Improve Single-pilot Safety
A Mitre team is developing software that predicts pilots’ information needs.

In a simulation laboratory at Mitre’s Center for Advanced Aviation System Development in McLean, Va., researchers are testing digital copilot technology designed to help single pilots flying complex aircraft in busy airspace. The team’s goal is “to bring several of the safety benefits of Crew Resource Management to single-pilot operations,” according to Mitre. The research is done in Mitre’s Integrated Demonstration and Experimentation for Aeronautics (Idea) lab.
