Airbus's AI Landing Trial Is Modest. The Certification Question It Raises Isn't.
Airbus's Mistral-assisted landing trial is workload automation, not autonomy, but it still exposes gaps in how aviation certifies learned software.
Airbus's Mistral-assisted landing trial is workload automation, not autonomy, but it still exposes gaps in how aviation certifies learned software.
A contrail trial, a maintenance rollout, and a pilot-training study show aviation already runs AI proving grounds ad hoc, with no structure connecting them.
Insurers are repricing aviation AI risk before liability attribution is settled, and the counterargument that human oversight still anchors accountability deserves scrutiny too.
