some time in the future.....
all flts will be "launched" out of an airfield in to the air and on board systems like automatic terrain aviodance coupled with gps coupled with google earth uplink will prevent the aircraft from approaching terra firma at all parts of the globe except designated airfields determined by a encrypted uplink from acars.On approaching an airfield, video feed from the cockpit+biometric data will be verified against ref data by controller and company security, at which point the automatic terrain aviodance mode will change to ILS capture mode.In the event of a go-around system will revert back to terrain avodance mode.Any perfomance degradation that may lead to ditching/forced landing/fuel starvation is prohibitted by law
