Recent posts focus on the emotive no pilot autonomous operation, whereas the Airbus research is considering dual-pilot operations.
Instead of stating what we do not want, consider what we might require in a dual pilot cockpit, when, why, where. For what purpose, workload, safety viewpoint, or new or changed risks.
Is the type of automation being considered what crews will expect; do we sufficiently understand current operations, ourselves, in normal, high workload, or abnormal situations before considering the hypothetical.
What are the current critical situations; how are these identified and understood.
