The Dangers of Automation with Jack J. Hersch
null
Jack Hersch, author of Dangers of Automation in Airlines: Accidents Will Happen. Jack is not an airline pilot, but he is a student of automation and the science of human factors. Jack started as a writer with his book Death March Escape, sharing his father's story of escaping the concentration camps. He is a self-proclaimed airplane nut, so when the MAX crashes happened, he took it upon himself to investigate and report what really happened to those planes. It turns out it was an issue with automation.
2:25 - "On the wrong day with the wrong bit of automation going bad, could run into a problem."
3:21 - Conclusions Jack came to while writing his book - issues he found with automation in commercial airlines
9:40 - What is automation culture and how does company culture or world culture influence some of the accidents investigated in the book?
15:54 - "At the end of the day, the question isn't is automation bettor or is hand-flying better. It's about having situational awareness."
18:28 - How automation would apply to single-pilot or no-pilot operations in commercial or cargo aircraft
31:12 - "I wrote the book not to be a guidepost but to show what could happen in various scenarios."
