Project description
Landing a pilotless plane from the ground
Pilots may become incapacitated during flight. Although a rare occurrence, pilot incapacitation, especially in a single-pilot aircraft, can present a significant risk. Incapacitation can happen for various reasons, from gastrointestinal illnesses to death, a more extreme example. The main aim of the EU-funded project, SAFELAND, is to create a valuable solution for supporting flight and landing of aircraft operated by a single pilot experiencing partial or total incapacitation. During its 30-month duration, the project will investigate the interaction of the air traffic controller with on-board automation and/or a ground-based pilot operating through a remote cockpit position to manage the flight. The project will develop a real-time cockpit simulator, a control work position, a ground cockpit simulator, and a simulated airline operation control centre.
Objective
The SAFELAND project aims at supporting flight and landing of aircraft operated by a single pilot, in case of partial or total incapacitation of the pilot. SAFELAND will focus on the ground side and in particular on the role ATM could have in managing the transition from a single pilot operated flight to a status with reduced or absent contribution of the onboard pilot to landing. SAFELAND will investigate the interaction of the air traffic controller with onboard automation and/or a ground based pilot operating through a remote cockpit position to manage the flight. The concept will be evaluated at main phases of its development with different evaluation techniques including a real time simulation integrating a cockpit simulator, a control work position, a ground cockpit simulator and a simulated Airline Operation Control Centre. Evaluation will investigate different aspects including human factor, safety, security and cybersecurity, legal, economic and regulatory. SAFELAND results will be communicated and disseminated ensuring scientific links and exchange of information, data and results with research initiatives in different framework programme and in particular with the single pilot studies of CleanSky. The project will last 24 months followed by other 6 months exclusively dedicated to Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation.
