Would a drone pilot have emergency landed on the hudson and saved hundreds of lives k-s-u?

[pissclams]

chew on this mind bender-
design an unhackable computer program that flies the planes from a computer located on a satellite based on the moon.  the computer program is monitored by a robot developed by a combined team of data scientists from Apple, Android, and Xbox.  the robot is controlled by actual pilots who are located at NORAD in Colorado Springs

I got the idea after watching war games, it's a great "idea" motivator type movie

Once there was a problem.  All the "experts" couldn't solve it.  They made excuses and couldn't see the obvious solution. 

All it took was a little common sense and a message board to figure it out.

WAKE UP AVIATION INDUSTRY!

In serious answer to your question, it's unlikely that a drone pilot could or would have taken over control in such a situation at low altitude right after takeoff. Simply not enough time.

The drone tech could have avoided disasters at higher altitude and longer flight time, such as the Germanwings and Air Egypt and Malaysia Airlines suicides, the 9/11 hijackings, and the Air France and Air Asia (likely) weather related pilot errors. But that's still a lot of crashes that could have been avoided and about 4k lives saved?

Save your breath wetwillie. It's all just a video game to these dronetards.

The idea of preventing pilot error crashes is completely ridiculous, considering the cause of a crash isnt known until after the fact.

What if the pilots were children?  Like on Ender's Game.  Or wildly talented problem drinkers, like on Training Day?  Best of both worlds.

Our drone techs are going to be saving german, egyptian, and malaysian planes too? maybe clams was on to something with the moon satellite.

there really are no pilots in my scenario,   they're actually just actors pretending to be pilots

Sounds adequate.

Nobody here has suggested drone pilots take the place of real pilots.  Good grief.

What was discussed were the merits of a system designed to come into play to stop a hijacking incident maybe four or five times a year out of the 20 million or so commercial flights around the world annually.

Nailed it again, KK.  If there's one group of imbeciles that know nothing about aviation it's the fruit cakes at Boeing!!!

How those mouth breathers muster the courage to leave their bedrooms everyday is beyond me.

I think you meant that John Cusack movie, not Training Day

[steve dave]

These things are pretty much mechanical clocks in the sky. You don't jump from a 1978 camero to the starship enterprise by doing a retrofit or whatever it is you think would accomplish the remote controlling you're suggesting.

[wabash909]

Don't shoot the messenger! Take it up with dumbasses at Boeing that patented this obviously preposterous idea.

Yeah, and you don't tell the children they are flying real planes until afterwards.

BREAKING NEWS: Cell phone video found at Germanwings crash site shows screaming passengers as plane goes down - CNN

nope nope nope

[420seriouscat69]

That's kinda smart if you think about it. They probably pay for the video and give it to the families of the lost one who taped it, right?

[Mrs. Gooch]

Yeah the cockpit voice recorder had passengers screaming on it too. Also the pilot saying "Open the damn door."
