Pilots May acquire Magic Fingers To stay Them attentive

A trembling seat may be joining the technically sophisticated airline cockpit of the future. Previously there is abundance of visual and acoustic alarms in the cockpit to counsel pilots about things involving instant action, but now several think there might be a restrained way to repeat them of some more custom actions.

The design comes from official documents filed by the Boeing Company. The airline maker could combine an easy mechanism that would supply a physical signal to the group that would strike a chord when certain dealings require to be taken such as radio calls and could even be triggered slightly by air traffic controllers.

There are copiousness of euphemisms that could be worn to confer preserving crew attentiveness and serving situational awareness. But the suggestion of a shaking seat appears to be directly intended at pilots declining asleep in the cockpit or flattering so diverted that they might overfly their purpose as happened to a Northwest Airlines crew in 2009.

According to a tale in Flight Global, there is no suggestion of plans to set the idea into service.

Also to being activated by air traffic controllers, the chairs could also be pre-programmed to just repeat pilots of planned tasks during a flight.
