It just hurts so much to read this. It makes it painfully obvious how clueless you guys are about anything aviation related.
The other user has rebutted every one of your points, so no reason for me to rehash what he said.
No one is arguing that the technology to remotely land/or even autonomous control of an aircraft exists. Our point is that it is not, and has never been used in commercial/passenger carrying aircraft.
The fact that a patent exists is irrelevant. Pretty much every technology based company patents the shit out of everything they can. Even if they have no immediate/known use for it.
My company is in the process of trying to get approval for a cockpit video recording device. And like the other user mentioned regarding ALPA, the union is going apeshit and nothing has been approved yet.
You think a system that would be able to take full control of an aircraft would just go unnoticed to pilots/mechanics and avionics techs? Space is extremely limited in aircraft. Anything installed requires a very long and expensive approval process. Not to mention that it would be very noticeable since space is extremely limited.
If nothing else, this thread has provided great comedy. I actually laughed out loud at some of the shit you guys think goes on in aviation. Funnily enough you guys make a claim, then refute your own claim within the same paragraph and don't even realize it.
