I suspect it was semi-known. The last cut away from the tower screens is only about 15 seconds before that, so they could have filmed several takes of that bit to get the timing. In the US, you could just stand there with a receive-only radio and listen to the tower give takeoff clearance and then start filming. I seem to think that's illegal in the UK. However, they could also just watch planes taxi, wait for one to approach the take-off end of the runway, and then roll as soon as it started moving onto the runway. Notice he glances behind him a couple of times during that last 15 seconds, so I think he knew. Nicely done, Tom and Matt!

Wait, isn’t that just the next Microsoft Flight Simulator?

I just finished a week spent in the control tower of Milan Malpensa airport, standing side-by-side with the air traffic controllers, for a school project. One day the visibility reduced significantly, to the point that all the operations were being handled exclusively via ground/air radar screens, and the controller (ironically) pointed out: "look, now I could simply work from home with two computers screens" since outside the windows we could not see anything... Also, few month ago a project of controlling Milan Linate airport using an almost identical system to the one described by Tom in the video has been tested successfully in Malpensa.

People in the comments being concerned about things they have no insight into. Meanwhile in Control Center Ops rooms, from which air traffic during enroute and approach phase is controlled, controllers are already sitting hundreds of kilometers away from where the traffic is happening, working with radar data coming from radar stations all over different countries. Every single system, from a simple wire connecting the center to the radar data, down to the controllers workstation, has at least 2 backups. There is 2 or 3 fallback modes for every kind of failure. Even in the worst case scenario of a total blackout, planes won't be allowed to land or depart from the airport in question or enter the sectors that have failed, and controllers revert back to good old paper strip controlling and procedural separation to keep everyone safe and get them out of there. Air travel is incredibly safe and there is a good reason why. The people developing these systems are not stupid. Everything is designed with the thought in mind, that if the system and all backups fail, people die.

@josephgroves3176

6 жыл бұрын

Frido15. Exactly. Aerospace is difficult, but takes safety far more seriously than other forms of engineering --we have to due to the scale. And it pays off --air travel is one of the safest. More people died in the extra road accidents after 911 than in 911 itself. Crash a car and they'll just clear away the wreck. An airliner so much as gets a crack and a whole industry will have to change to prevent it

I love hearing about all the engineering and safety that goes into modern air travel. It's so nice to hear about people that know what they're doing and do their best to do everything right.

Very pragmatic viewpoint on "it feels wrong". Thumbs up!

It has one major safety feature built into it by reason alone. That being of an event is catastrophic enough to distrust communications and interfere with all the backup plans, then it stands to reason no plane would be taking off or landing seeing as it’s probably not safe for a plane to operate. That negates the need for the tower. It’s honestly more safe than normal and I wouldn’t mind this being implemented in other airports.

I've flown to airports where the ground station that dispenses information to pilots is in a different town (e.g. Tofino, Canada CYAZ). The system works; with the right tech (and lots of bandwidth) I can see how it could handle an airport as busy as London City. In my work we develop systems with five nines reliability (99.999% uptime, about three minutes downtime per year, for *any* reason). An application like this is six nines or better, not something you make with off-the-shelf hardware.

Being in control is just an illusion while driving a car or even walking down the street. When something really goes south, you aren't in control anymore. Neither on an airplane, nor anywhere else.

Because living in fear is a life without a choice and that's no way to live. We don't have to be in control to feel safe, sometimes knowing we have a choice is really all we need.

The same 'feels scary' but is actually safer can also be applied to driver-less cars and pilot-less planes. It feels unsafe that there isn't anyone there to keep the big heap of metal going in the right direction, but we can already see with planes that humans are far less reliable than AI and that, as scary as it may seem, replacing pilots with robots is by far the safest thing we can do.

Modern flight management systems and autopilots could actually be able to fully perform 99% of all flights. It's that remaining 1% you cannot automate that makes the difference.

As a UK tower controller I'm gutted at this change in our industry. I love the buzz of working at an airport and looking out of real windows. The idea of swapping it for looking at screens all day in a windowless room in a warehouse in a nondescript industrial estate somewhere is just heartbreaking. Saves money though, so I guess that's the only thing that matters anymore.

Part of Cork's operations are handled by Dublin, possibly the overnight. When it was on the news everyone was really angry about it, but part of that was Dublin's continued meddling and stealing of Cork's business, but with a safety worry put on top. People rang in to radio talk shows to say how unsafe they felt it was. But it is still a manned tower during normal hours, so it isn't fully empty/digital.
