voice of safety d'telegraph8/6/04 letters
There is a great letter in the Daily Telegraph 'Letters to the Editor' today from a David Finmore of Poole. Briefly, he has great faith in UK controllers and pilots. But, the excellent point he makes about computers for pilots and controllers is 'people make poor monitors of computers, but the flexibility of the human brain monitored by computers, immune to boredom, generates maximum safety'. Perhaps a thought for our planners before we are all deskilled in the near future.
