Stimulation: Visual(PFD). Aural(alerts, warnings, airstream, buffet) voice(CRM) G

Task: timing, action, review.

SORT

These are all categories of the Executive function of the brain, imo.

Once ingrained, and trained, it remains to test how far each candidate can "compress" these categories into the correct action.

A computer can do all these. But a human can do them better. What remains impossible for computers to get, (at present) is what starts to look like "intuitive" work. It is not intuitive, it is the extreme skill that results from intense training. It has been called "luck", or "genius", even the "zone".

When the current crop of over valued computational machines grok "intuition" what will follow will be the inevitable presence of pilotless aircraft. Till then, occasionally we need to compute "risk/benefit" and whistle through the cemetery.
