Line Up and Wait
If this really exists, it needs to be stopped. This guy is practically in permanent IMC with that Ipad in his face. If you need this to fly a plane (especially one with a g1000) you shouldn't be flying.
It's a good thing they have put some attention into the distractions; it really is a big problem with all the iGadgets. But, it remains to be seen if they are successful. Designing a good user interface is quite difficult, and it will have to be incredibly good to accomplish their goal. For instance, it's not helpful if the voice command interface tells you to repeat yourself 50 times because it can't distinguish your voice from the very noisy ambient environment.
My pilot buddy had voice commands in his cockpit. He's a high-tech guy, ya know.I'd love to have enough aural alerts to get the EFB out of my scan entirely. Voice commands would be cool too. "Betty, what's the weather at KXYZ?"
Lol. Open the Pod Bay doors HAL"I'm sorry, Dave. I can't let you do that."
Yeah. Her name is Mi Fli Fur UDoes it come with a sweet Asian girl voice?
