      The FAA disagrees. It's kind of a big plot point in the series this stunt is from.

        It can as some people struggle with spatial awareness and sensory issues

          From the ASD people I’ve met, they are EXACTLY the kind of people I’d want flying the plane I was on.

            That's what sensors are for. People dont look out the windows to fly anymore. Everything, and i mean everything is flying by wire these days except small propeller planes.

                That’s not what fly-by-wire means, and it’s absolutely a requirement to be attentive at all times. You may have noticed those see-through arrays on the front of all piloted aircraft.

                      You have missed the difference between sensing, and precepting.

                        Actually it is exactly what fly-by wire means. I am an engineer, im actually an aerospace engineer. There's an array of different control schemes on every part of the plane. Still want to argue with me and call me a dumbass?

                          Fly by wire is not the same as IFR flight.

                          And being an engineer has nothing to do with being a pilot, I'm an engineer too, nobody needs your irrelevant pretentious credentials.

                            I don't believe you're an aerospace engineer for one second.

                            If you were, you know fly by wire means there is no physical connection between the pilot's controls and the control surfaces, it has nothing to do with whether or not the aircraft is being flown visually or on instruments.

                              There's no way that person is an aerospace engineer.

                                Instrument flight and fly by wire are not the same thing.

                                  Found this:

                                  "A centaur is someone whose work is supercharged by automation: you are a human head atop the tireless body of a machine that lets you get more done than you could ever do on your own.

                                  A reverse-centaur is someone who is harnessed to the machine, reduced to a mere peripheral for a cruelly tireless robotic overlord that directs you to do the work that it can’t, at a robotic pace, until your body and mind are smashed."

                                    Yes, im aware of that. Do you think the pilot also looks out the windows and guesses what the stall angle of the plane is before landing? No, the plane sensors already know what it is.
