flying has always had an eleement of risk. and the person who has the final say is the captain.

what I would like someone to do is use some, yet to be made, gadget to tell the pilot about the healthiness of the air being sucked into the engine. sensing the particulate matter and displaying in EZ to understand terms/images if one should continue or turn around.
