I am reluctant to mention one particular recent accident because many posts and comments are being removed or censored if they don't "toe the party line".
Is voice communications still the best way to give Clearances or Instructions ?
In the early days of aviation, Light Signals, Flags, Flares and other methods of giving orders were sometimes used.
Is it now time for a digital replacement for voice clearances, or certainly a visual backup system ?
