Automatic recovery from stall/spin/departures
Automatic recovery from stall/spin/departures, is already operational in some airplanes, sometimes coupled with automatic ground avoidance.
But? All depends on the sensors.
If the sensors, pitot tubes and/or AOA vanes are partially or comletely frozen up or contaminated? => No automatic system can work when it gets the wrong information.
Modern computers can do a lot but garbage in, garbage out.
The weak link is "the sensors" that are out in the open.
Multiple accidents happened by faulty or not working sensors.
- pitot tubes frozen or FOD contaminated
- static ports frozen or FOD contaminated
- AOA probes and or vanes frozen or FOD contaminated
- Yes even probes that where taped over when washing the airframes and the A/C went flying with the tapes still over the probes => crash
The computes can do the work, the softwares are there, but the probes are the weak link.
