The Digital Aircraft - Heralding a New Generation of Aircraft Operations

A Critical Game-Changer for the Air Transport Industry

Manual Flight Operations

It is very interesting the information contained in this SAFO, in my personal opinion the new generation of Pilots who get a new Commercial License and get flying in to the Airlines or GA, has another outlook, the new generation of pilots already are adapted to that new computerization, the new technology and become more comfortable that  the airplane does everything , but in my personal view as an Aviation Accident Investigator , we need to be careful and emphasis more on the training, we have to work hard and focus on preventing future accidents.The SAFO is certainly brief and has good information regarding the issue for safety reasons.

A SAFO contains important Safety Information and may include recommended action. SAFO content should be especially valuable to air carriers in meeting their statutory duty to provide service with the highest possible degree of safety in the public interest. Besides the specific action recommended in a SAFO, an alternative action may be as effective in addressing the safety issue named in the SAFO.
