Embraer are to introduce an enhanced takeoff system which appears to involve automatic rotation, or at least flight directed rotation.
How might such a certification relate to conventional performance techniques based on human ability - variability, thus requiring margins for piloted input.
A comment from the LinkedIn forum
"
So it appears the key in their patent, is that autoflight is more reliable for initial climb out, closer to the 'ideal' & more reliable - therefore can get rid of some of the safety margins afforded to human pilots - especially under engine-fail conditions." (reliable ≈ accuracy ?)
Does this mark a change in performance certification policy, accepting that automation is more accurate than manual flight - not to debate the technical reliability aspects, but those of the accuracy of piloted control - 'not requiring exceptional skill' ; also cf manual land vs autoland.
