Well for example, they can land at challenging airports such as London City Airport or airports where there is virtually zero visibility. They can also land at 'hot 'n high' airports as they're called - such as La Paz, Bolivia.


How much visibility is needed to land a plane?

Present day auto-land systems are capable of landing an aircraft in zero/zero conditions. (That's zero ceiling and zero visibility.) However, most operators of US carriers rarely go to the expense of the additional training required to qualify crews to these minimums as zero/zero conditions are seldom encountered. Most only train crews down to minimums of 300' or 600' RVR. (Runway Visual Range is a specialized instrument measurement of lateral visibility as viewed along various portions of the runway.) Answer The aviation industry is developing a HUD (Head's Up Display) that will project Infra-Red imaging in front of the pilot that will greatly enhance his "vision" for adverse landing conditions, whether it is darkness, fog, etc. The cost of operating auto-land systems also includes equipment for the aircraft. So if an operator has a fleet of aircraft, this would require the operator to upgrade his fleet and train all of his crew so they could fly any aircraft in any condition as needed.


What is zero visibility in aircraft?

It seems that the possibilty of an aircraft that is soley controlled by a computer (computer system) is very possible. There are already Unmanned Aerial Vehicles flying in the military. Catagory III aircraft have auto-land, which enables the aircraft to land in zero visibility (obviously at Cat III certified runways). Autopilot flies preprogrammed flight paths and approaches. What problems to do you see in this? Would you fly in a piloted-computer controlled aircraft in the future? Something to think about: more than 70% of aircraft accidents occure due to pilot error and not mechanical failure.
