Pre-takeoff checklist
I'm working on a presentation and I think comparing the fundamental pilot philosophy between the two designs may help illustrate a point. Plus I look forward to the comments.
One of my CFIs told me Boeing's guiding principal is to make a "Pilot's airplane" built with safety measures and feedback loops for pilot interaction. While Airbus builds an airplane that relies on itself (the tech at least) and the pilot is there to correct software driven issues. So from some of the research I have done, Boeing designs a cockpit with a plane around it and Airbus designs the airplane for little pilot interaction.
I understand this may be ignorant on my side, which is why I'm starting a conversation as part of my research.
In a software driven world, autonomous vehicles and flashing lights that tell you when something is wrong, is Boeing's guiding principal around the pilot out dated?
