Crap cockpit UI may crash planes

Crap cockpit UI may crash planes 01/07/2004 06:09 PM
A new study has found that the bristling impressiveness of the standard airplane cockpit is a UI disaster and theat the complexity can lead to plane-crashes.

They say that, during emergencies, pilots are overloaded with technical information which they are unable to process quickly enough. This could mean that wrong decisions are made at crucial moments -- and these cannot be reversed.

Boston-area bank suggestion? (Bank of

Boston-area bank suggestion? (Bank of
America is not dog-friendly) 06/22/2005 02:23 AM

My bank has been purchased, for about the fifth time.  Currently it is called "Bank of America."  None of the previous changes of ownership or name bothered me but this time the new color scheme came with "no dogs allowed" signs in the front of every branch office.  I'm not sure that I can stomach 0.2% interest if I can't have a dog at my side to provide some comfort as inflation and corporate looters erode my turbine-powered helicopter fund.  Anyone have a suggestion for a dog-friendly bank in the Boston area?

http://www.bis.org/cbhub/ind ex.htm

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has established this facility to promote the search and dissemination of economic research published by central banks.
The facility is built on the principle of crawlers that search research content from selected central banks websites on a daily basis. The Research Hub e-mail alert will keep its users informed about new research published on any of the websites of the participating central banks. Subscribers to the free e-mail alert can select specific topics and reception frequencies to keep their e-mail volumes under control.
The BIS hopes that this facility will make research work on central banking topics more widely accessible to the central banks and the academic community at large. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.This will be added to Academic Resources 2004-05 Internet MiniGuide.

Wired is carrying a new Reuter's story discussing the prospect of Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) displacing piloted planes in more cases. It mentions the oft-repeated prediction that the F-35 will likely be the last piloted fighter jet built. The overview covers both fully autonmous robot planes like the Global Hawk and X-45 as well as remotely piloted vehicles like the Dragon Eye and Predator.

Jet pilots complains about laser

Jet pilots complains about laser 12/30/2004 02:46 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: A commercial airline pilot said that a laser beam entered the cockpit of his plane for several seconds on Monday, while it was 8,500 feet in the air. Air traffic controllers determined that the source of the laser came from a neighborhood in Warrensville Heights, near Cleveland. The FBI is investigating. And in September, a Delta pilot's eye was injured from a laser beam while he was landing a plane in Salt Lake City. Here's the LA Times article about this.

I'm wondering if the idiots who are doing this are using lasers like the ones sold at Lasershoppe.com. Wow: I just went to lasershoppe to read more about the $600 lasers the site sells (which can burn holes through plastic cups, and I learned that they are no longer selling lasers because they don't want to have anything to do with people who would use their lasers maliciously. They link to a CNN article that says six commercial jets have had their cockpits illuminated by laser beams in the last four days. (Photo by Phillip Torrone)

UPDATE: Patricio Lopez sez: A while ago the Ask the Pilot colum at Salon dealt with the whole lase threat issue. Excerpt:

For the record, even a well-aimed laser would be highly unlikely to cause a crash. Hitting both pilots cleanly in the face, through a refractive wraparound windshield, would require a great deal of luck, and even a temporarily blinded crew would still have the means to avoid disaster. Do not equate the results of a laser strike with, for example, having to drive sightless through a busy intersection. Maintaining a jet's stability would be challenging under the circumstances, but not impossible.
