4. Gliding an Airbus A320 - Simplicity-Complexity Trade-Off
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och SamhällssäkerhetAbstract : In the unlikely critical event of an Airbus A320 aeroplane suffering an all engines failure at cruising altitude, would the pilots be able to follow procedures and land safely on a reachable runway? Nine out of twelve simulations done during this research resulted in a crash when the pilots used only the Airbus procedures. Can the pilots make a safe landing on a runway after being taught and having practised judgment heuristics in addition to the manufacturer procedures? According to the sampled results in this research, they can. READ MORE
